Detroit, MI (November 4, 2014) - metro-Detroit singer-songwriter Maggie Cocco celebrates her CD
Release at The Loving Touch Theater on December 13, 2014. Cocco will perform songs from her
brand new album, titled "Get Me" at this "Women Who Rock" Showcase featuring special guests
Carolyn Striho, Rio & the Rockabilly Revival and American Idol's Keri Lynn Roche.
"It's a privilege to be producing this
Detroit Women of Rock event and
creating a forum for Forgotten Harvest
to raise awareness of families needing
a food in Michigan," said Janel Stone,
Founder of 7 Stone Management. "All of
these women are beyond talented and
are ready to give back and to rally
behind this cause. What a fantastic
forum for Maggie Cocco to debut her
new CD".
Fresh from the recording studio and
signing her first management contract
with Detroit's power promoter / manager
Janel Stone of 7 Stone Management,
Maggie Cocco is excited to debut her
album "Get Me" which reflects her
musical fusion of old time rock and roll, layered with rhythmic blues and soaring melodies. This ten
track CD is a unique combination of strong vocalists meets diverse instrumentals.
"Maggie has worked hard on this CD and she has an undeniable powerful and beautiful voice," said
Stone. "I am thrilled to be working with her and Cocco Music, to put on a impecable CD Release
event."
"I couldn't be happier with my new LP and having the opportunity to release it in a Detroit Women
Who Rock forum with Rio, Striho and Roche," said Maggie Cocco. "I feel blessed to share the stage
with these incredible musicians benefitting Forgotten Harvest. Giving back makes it all the more
sweet."
Carolyn Striho is a veteran Detroit singer/songwriter with high-energy performances and award
winning music, who has rocked stages
across Europe, Lollapalooza and Michigan's
Arts Beats & Eats Festival. Combining her
punk rock attitude, with the soothing sound
of her acoustic guitar, Striho is a strong
presence on the Detroit indie music scene
and has opened for such acts as The
Ramones and Iggy Pop. This charismatic
performer with a soulful acoustic sound may
have traveled all over the world, yet is a
Detroit girl at heart. The feeling is clearly
mutual with an impressive 50 Detroit Music
Award nominations and 7 Detroit Music
Award wins.
"I have been fortunate to work with many
local, national and international woman in
music and now to be featured on a lineup of 'Detroit Women Who Rock', I am just flat out excited,"
said Carolyn Striho. "Maggie, Rio and Keri definitely fit that label. Plus, Maggie is premiering her new
LP. Talk about a fantastic night!"
Rio and The Rockabilly Revival is the epitome
of Southern-rock music meshed with flavoring of
a punk rock attitude. A staple of the Detroit
Music Scene, Rio and the Rockabilly's high
energy performances are a nod to "The Church
of Rock and Roll". Tom Stevens from Metro
Vibe Magazine describes Rio's on-stage antics
as "... a firebrand; a hell-spitting minx whose
core, however, is hope and salvation. And,
frankly, enough earthy sex appeal to move
tectonic plates. Whipping an audience into a
frenzy worthy of a revival tent is akin to water
rolling off a duck's back for Rio and company."
"To be in the company of such dynamic,
talented women is invigorating! That sense of
sisterhood and camaraderie has always been an
important part of who I am, not only as an artist
but as a woman," said Rio Scafone of Rio & the
Rockabilly Revival. "I'm delighted to be part of
Maggie's special night. It's going to be one heck
of a night!"
Twenty-four year old Keri Lynn Roche broke out on this year's American Idol where she landed on
the "Top 24" of this hit shows 12th Season. A Michigan native, Roche's gritty soulful sound is
layered with a folky rock vibe and has earned her performances at the world renowned House of
Blues, The Venice Beach Boardwalk, The San
Diego Onyx Room and even Detroit's Blind Pig.
Roche's new single, "Scar on my Heart" is now
available on iTunes.
"We're all so honored to be supporting Forgotten
Harvest in our home state where the unemployment
rate is high, food is often the first thing people will
sacrifice. It's heartbreaking to read statistics where
1 in 6 people don't have enough to eat," said Keri
Lynn Roche. "As women, we can come together
and empower change. That's the sense of purpose
I live each day to fulfill. I hope many will join us to
donate, volunteer, enjoy the music and be involved
in this wonderful event!"
