Riley Holtz & The Lost Cause: Live & Unplugged

Riley Holtz & The Lost Cause return to Blue Strawberry with an evening of songs from their debut album "Illegal Before Noon", along with songs from some of their favorite songwriters. 
From blues to country, folk to R&B, and gospel to rock, Riley Holtz is a jack of all musical trades. With the soulful heart-wrenching ballad “Movin’ On,” the in-your-face “Father I Have Sinned,” and the folk feel of “Josey’s Ring,” Riley’s forthcoming debut album, Illegal Before Noon, has something for everyone.

Sinead Angele is a singer/songwriter currently based in St. Louis, Missouri. As a child, she would sing in between sets of the bands that would play at her dad’s pub in her hometown of Baltimore, Maryland. That is where she began developing a passion for performing. Throughout grade school, she joined any and every choir she could, and occasionally tried her hand at musical theater as well. She began writing her own songs at the age of 9 and was self recording and uploading her original works to Myspace by age 16. Her songs were and continue to be very autobiographical, capturing deep emotions surrounding love and loss and all things in between. 
Sinead has recently released her first official solo EP. She teamed up with long time friend and co-writer Matthew Kruft to produce the project. The EP is titled “Finally” and chronicles her struggles over the last few years with mental health and her experience with finally finding some sense of peace. She is currently working with Kruft on a second EP titled “Self Sabotage” set to be released later this year. When she is not working on original music, Sinead fronts Taylorville, a Saint Louis based tribute to Taylor Swift.
