The 2007 MAC (Manhattan Association of Cabarets & Clubs) Award winner for Best Major Artist, Lina Koutrakos, "unplugs" and sings the historic and ultimate female expression of the blues through this line up of torch songs, with Rick Jensen at the baby grand. Having literally “come of age” in the cities nightclubs and now with years of music -- and life -- under their belts, they have teamed up to bring a unique view to this line up of torch songs.

Torch features the classic songs its title conjures up and the not so expected ones as well.  The nightclubs are where both Koutrakos and Jensen learned, loved and were afforded the opportunity to dissect these songs over and over again and decided last year it was time to interpret them with not only their individual histories, but their collective ones as well… both personally and musically.
