NYC: DON REBIC AND CHRISTINE REISNER-REBIC "LUCKY IN LOVE" - A CD CELEBRATION OF ROMANCE

On the heels of a successful run of their first cabaret act, 'Look Who's in Love', distinguished entertainers Christine Reisner-Rebic (an international cabaret chanteuse and dancer) and Don Rebic (Broadway and cabaret musical director, jazz pianist and composer) took their cabaret act into the recording studio. And the result is their new CD, "Lucky in Love", and they will celebrate it's release on Monday, November 9th at 7:00 pm at THE METROPOLITAN ROOM (34 West 22nd Street, NYC - 212-206-0440 - http://www.metropolitanroom.com/ ). Te recording features timeless standards as well as four songs of their own: "You're Making Me Nervous," "Two Heads Are Better Than One," "Leap of Faith" and the title track, "Lucky in Love." Age is only a number for this couple who met through cabaret and married in Fredonia, Rebic's hometown, nearly three years ago. Together they celebrate the possibility of finding love later in life through a partnership inspired by music of the Great American Songbook. Rebic, well known as an accomplished pianist, steps into the spotlight as a singer in jazzy arrangements with his wife, who also plays violin. Although the live performance will include songs on the CD from 'Look Who's in Love', it will feature new material and a tribute to arranger Hubert "Tex" Arnold, with Jon Burr on bass. There is a $20 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.
