Lina Koutrakos is a power house entertainer, director, and instructor who just received Broadway World's New York Cabaret Award for BEST DIRECTOR in 2014. She was awarded by the prestigious Manhattan Association of Clubs and Cabarets - along with Billy Stritch- its BEST ARTIST OF THE YEAR AWARD in 2007. The NY Times says "Her emotional strength is embedded in singing that has a defiant rock edge" and Billboard Magazine declares "This electrifying woman is the real thing!" The Village Voice states "She covers the distance from Cabaret to Rock with the amazing grace of a confident aerialist." She is New York's cabaret phenomenon often seen in St. Louis as both teacher and performer.
Rick Jensen is no stranger to the St. Louis cabaret scene. The multi-talented pop singer, songwriter, director, and producer served as music director for many local cabaret performers and has starred in several sold-out solo performances in town. Rick's compositions have become standards on the New York City Club circuit, garnering him critical praise and earning him six Manhattan Association of Cabaret and Clubs MAC Awards including "Tonight, New York City: The Rick Jensen Songbook," written, musical directed, and hosted by Rick Jensen, directed by Lina Koutrakos at the Metropolitan Room in New York (2012). Rick's magical arrangements on the piano are truly brought to life with his side-by-side work with the singer: "A director's job is to see the whole picture, because at some point, you get so that you can't really see what they are doing out front. You can kind of feel if they are telling the truth when they are singing, but you need somebody who can see the overall picture".
