Sounds LikeGary Blackwell, Motor City Rocks: "Kudos to everyone involved in staging the Fred ‘Sonic’ Smith memorial show at the Magic Stick last Friday night, which celebrated Smith’s life and music via the recent 10 year anniversary of his passing. Musical nods to Fred Smith’s music with the MC5 were peppered throughout the evening. All in all, though, it seemed that the biggest crowd-pleasing performance of the evening was Carolyn Striho’s acoustic take on Fred and Patti Smith’s “People Have the Power,” performed with Jackson Smith on rhythm guitar." (Carolyn's frequent collaborator and friend). Ralph Valdez, WDET-FM Detroit: “The music that she’s been doing has always had a great Detroit feel to it. Now something more is happening, becoming this blend of hard Detroit sounds with more pop elements…” All Music Guide/Internet: “Striho writes gorgeous, psychedelic pop songs that come from the silver edge of midnight, aching anthems of poetry and longing…” Jim McFarlin, Metro Times: “Striho has been an irrepressible attraction on Detroit’s musical landscape, noted for her impassioned live sets. Striho is refusing to live in the past. She’s living for today, which makes her future look extraordinarily bright. After years of experimenting, and eclectic shows in Detroit, Toronto, and Osaka, Japan, Carolyn's songs reveal the budding awareness of personal evolution."

CAROLYN STRIHO: Is This Me?
From the Metro Times, review of Is This Me? by Bill Holdship 2/27/2008 It takes some courage to title a new song "Promised Land" in 2008. Carolyn Striho's "Promised Land" may be the one that best expresses its message via its mood in no uncertain terms. It isn't at all reminiscent of Springsteen's hope-in-the-face-of-despair anthem in its tone, nor even the more cynical but still humorous "Promised Land" by Chuck Berry as covered by Elvis Presley and thousands of others. Striho's "Promised Land" is dissonant electro-pop, with frightening stream-of-consciousness lyrics, appropriate for the zeitgeist following eight years of Bush. But it rocks nevertheless. Is This Me? is exceptionally good. The internationally renowned Detroit artist's voice is, at turns, warm, rich, idiosyncratic and, at times, just plain (in a good way) eccentric. "Tiara" opens things on a violin-driven, downbeat, almost mournful but still melodically beautiful note. The appropriately titled "Ocean" is so Patti Smith influenced in its trippiness and mid-song chanting that it almost could be Patti Smith. And that's meant as a compliment — a big one. "Enchante" opens with a calliope-driven instrumental musical interlude before the lyrics kick in and it becomes a clash between the sounds of Barnum & Bailey and gypsys, tramps and thieves. Good stuff. Four-and-a-half out of five, only because it leaves you wanting to hear more from this Motor City maven! ..

Hey guys,



I'm hitting the road in a couple of weeks to raise money for War Child,
Coast-to-coast – 50 cities – ALL PROCEEDS TO WARCHILD. Why? 66% of all
war victims are CHILDREN. Shocked like me? War Child helps these
children that have been affected by war. Check out the new blog – the
whole story is up there. Love to have you be a part of it.

You’ll find a Blog, Tour page and a Bio page. I’ll be blogging daily from the road.



http://www.liamtitcomb.com/warchild/



I've also got this “widget” for a FREE download of 5
songs. Please send it on to your peeps – to help raise awareness of War
Child and the tour.





You can also embed this widget in your facebook, myspace etc. I’d really appreciate that.

We have permission from Sony ATV publishing to give the songs away from now till the end of the tour... So let’s work it.

Thanks,



-Liam

Hello fellow creative compassionate people,
I've been doing guerrilla soup kitchens at the NSO located at MLK and Third in Detroit's Cass Corridor for a while now and we have experienced many friendly people who love to hang out and talk with us so we like to stay and socialize, network, help, whatever the experience brings for a while even after the food is gone and the clothing picked through.

I've been envisioning a social event where we show the love by sharing our arts and spend a little time, something that the residents of the streets and shelters in Detroit do not have an opportunity to experience and let it become a gathering of unity and strength in the community that we are all a part of.

I'm very excited about this event coming up powered by the Spacewalk Superhero energy and its all free to the homeless, so please come and perform if you can and have a hot dog with us. Food and seasonal clothing is also welcomed to offer.

The announcement:

UPR Detroit and Spacewalk is holding a soup kitchen and a variety show on the lawn across from the Neighborhood Service Organization located at 3430 Third at MLK in Detroit. http:​/​/​www.​nso-​mi.​org/​services.​php

Calling all artists, musicians, clowns and circus performers, actors, poets, rappers, performers of any kind, plus any practitioners of the healing arts such as massage therapy or reiki, barbers, nurses, anyone who has something to offer and friendly folks to help and socialize with us.

We are beginning to serve at noon this Saturday,, July 4th and it should last till 3pm, maybe longer if people want to stay.

So dress up like anything you want, costuming is encouraged because its fun and stop by this Saturday from noon till 3.

Peace and love in solidarity,

p. s. Call me if you have any questions or needs and I will make sure you've got it and lets talk before you come too. And Please pass this bulletin on!

​Jean
