At home at Joe's Pub, Koutrakos takes the stage full-force on Thursday, March 27th @ 7PM to celebrate the release of her new CD/DVD collection entitled The Low Country.
The Low Country is a labor of love, a collection of Lina's best compositions over the last decade including “Southern Rain”, “Lightning”, “Love Grows Here and “Bury Me Deep”. An impressive compilation of raucous southern rock, oozing blues, diva ballads & tender torch. Burning the roof off one minute, tenderly caressing the next. The recording consists of rearranged and re-recorded originals, along with new songs featuring perhaps the most affecting number “Fly Away,” a devastatingly emotive ballad about her recent loss of a life-long friend-she serenades alongside celestial acoustic guitar. And, as always, a full ensemble of professional musicians back her, including electric guitarist and producer Jean Pierre Perreaux and percussionist/songwriter Dan Gross, who have been stalwart partners with Koutrakos since the beginning.
Throughout The Low Country, and as you will witness on the companion DVD, Lina Koutrakos proves an earnest interpreter of life lessons-a protector of faith, passion and the riches of self-love. Now you can take a piece of this powerhouse live performer home on a stellar DVD. Make no mistake though, nothing is quite like the real thing. When you witness Koutrakos live you'll want to immerse yourself in her devout drive, drink in some small taste of this artist's illustrative life's narrative, reach up into the sky with her and share in the warm glow from the heavens...and feel the power that fills the room when spirit and vocal chords meet and ignite.
