Callahan\u2019s Music Hall was a full house\u00a0for a return of the Rio\/Striho Show. \u00a0Both acts have deep roots in the Detroit music scene, and have a fiercely loyal following.<\/p>\n

This was the second time the two performers teamed up for a double bill at Callahan\u2019s, and while they perform in very different styles, the two performances flowed together well, in an artistic, energy packed performance, both musically and visually.<\/p>\n

Rio and the Rockabilly Revival<\/strong>\u00a0took the stage with the famous recording of Reverend Snow condemning the evils of Rock and Roll music and the effect it has on young people. The theme of the performance is, as the name says, a \u2018Rockabilly Revival\u2019. Essentially a big tent revival, but with Rockabilly Music. The performance opens with Rio\u2019s own Runaway Train and is followed by more\u00a0original music combined with several rockabilly favorites, uniquely styled and made new again, by Rio\u2019s deep roots in the history of Detroit \u00a0rock and soul. This show was the debut of\u00a0Rio\u2019s newly released single Testify and was\u00a0received with cheers and excitement from their\u00a0faithful following.<\/p>\n

Rio is the genuine article in the world of rockabilly, as is her claim to rockabilly heritage. The niece of Rockabilly legend and pioneer Jack Scott, she\u00a0is steeped in the traditions of the genre. However, Rio brings\u00a0not only the music, but\u00a0an entire performance. A veteran actress of both motion picture and television, she is a consummate entertainer to the core. \u00a0Precise vocal harmonies, in addition to meticulous\u00a0choreography, are clear evidence of a rigorous attention to detail, and those who follow her social media feeds know her arduous rehearsal schedule.<\/p>\n

Voted \u201cBest Local Band \u2013 Original Music\u201d by Hour Detroit Magazine, the music of Rio and the Rockabilly Revival, is unique within the genre of rockabilly as is its broad appeal.\u00a0Young people in today\u2019s\u00a0rockabilly scene can be found in the audience, right next to folks that enjoyed the music\u00a0when it was new. The show is both traditional and contemporary, authentic, but definitely\u00a0not \u201cold fashioned\u201d. The brilliant usage of \u00a0traditional Southern Gospel times combined with roots rock and soul, produce an experience that is not to be missed.<\/p>\n
