LINA KOUTRAKOS IN "THE LOW COUNTRY" CD/DVD RELEASE CONCERT

Lina Koutrakos & Band will present a special CD/DVD Release Concert at JOE'S PUB at THE PUBLIC THEATRE (425 Lafayette Street, NYC - 212-539-8778 - http://www.joespub.com/ ) on Thursday, March 27th at 7:00 pm. The show celebrates the release of "The Low Country" - a double disc "album" that includes a 're-imagined' version of her CD "Lightning in a Bottle" produced by Jean-Pierre Perreaux combined with a 22-minute DVD. There are a few new mixes on the CD plus a couple of new vocals and one new song. The DVD contains 13 minutes of live concert footage plus a 9 minute mini-documentary on Lina and her music.

The packaging includes liner notes written by Chuck Taylor of Billboard Magazine. This is the final "live concert" performance by Lina and band that will feature these tunes presented in this way in NYC.

Singer/songwriter Lina Koutrakos is a timeless Diva. She is a sophisticated rocker with a heart full of soul. Lina sings with amazing spirit, extraordinary energy, and perhaps most exciting of all, a brave celebration of all kinds of passion!

Koutrakos is no lightweight and together with her powerful band they weave their way from world pop through southern rock to gospel blues in a musical tapestry that has played to rave reviews in most of the top venues throughout Manhattan. Lina has been featured in The New York Times and the industry's Bible: BILLBOARD MAGAZINE just to name a few. The band has garnered fans the likes of Meryl Streep, Kathleen Turner, Tom Hanks and the late Gregory Hines.

Koutrakos's hauntingly sentimental duet 'For Now' (a collaborative effort with D.Gross and J. Rodgers) was given a Certificate of Merit from American Songwriter Magazine. And her anthemic "Love Grows Here" (written with drummer D. Gross and guitarist J.P Perreaux) has been sung by New Yorks Gay Mens Chorus in NY, at the Tokyo Olympic Center in Japan with 200 kids!, on the Rosie O'Donnell Family Cruises and was sung in honor of Family Pride in NY city last month. She has won the Village Voice Award for one of its Best Rockers, and France's prestigious Petite Piaf Award all for Best Female Vocalist.

Tickets are $20.
