Koiné is going back into the studio

Koiné is taking a bit of a breather from their busy touring schedule during the month of September to record their fifth LP (yet to be named) to be released in late 2010.

The next CD will feature 14 songs, including Christ is the World's Light, Jesus Refuge of the Weary, I am Jesus' Little Lamb, and many more favorites. The next album showcases much of the familiar style that the band has become known for, with hints of an emotionally charged new direction in their musical evolution.

Be sure to check back for more updates from the studio and follow us on Facebook to stay up to date!

Common language. Common people.
Extraordinary message.

That's what Koiné was in the 4th and 5th century in then Macedonia, the common language of the people. It's a Greek term, and was the language the New Testament was written in.

Today, Koiné is again a voice for the common people, and again with extraordinary message. Koiné - the church band, is a Christian band, bringing a new vibrant sound and feel to traditional Lutheran and Christian songs.

Founded on the banks of the Milwaukee River on Milwaukee's near North Side, Koiné brings a new and needed voice to the arena of Christian music.

Thanks for stopping by. Check out the rest of the site, and we welcome you to our upcoming shows, to hear a common message for all people: Jesus Christ is Savior.

God Bless - Koiné
