SUMMER OF THE SODA FOUNTAIN GIRLS Play Urban Stages, 12/11 & 12/12

Daniel Zaitchik & The Blue Bottle Collection will present a series of concerts, THE SUMMER OF THE SODA FOUNTAIN GIRLS, at Urban Stages on December 11th and 12th at 8:30pm. The band will perform the concerts in advance of recording the CD, expected early next year. The concept is brought to life on stage with video art projections by Alex Koch and direction by Erika Christensen.

The Blue Bottle Collection is a brand new multi-voiced band created by composer and performer Daniel Zaitchik. He is joined by acclaimed musicians Carey Anderson, Jeremy Bass, Jody Flader, Kate Mollica , Lauren Riley Rigby, Chris "Shockwave" Sullivan, Nathan Tysen, and Emily Walton.

For two nights only, the band will perform SUMMER OF THE SODA FOUNTAIN GIRLS, their yet to be recorded concept album, brought to life on stage with video art projections by Alex Koch and direction by Erika Christensen.

SUMMER OF THE SODA FOUNTAIN GIRLS is a meditative and magical summer road trip told through lush, evocative songs. Six interweaving voices, piano, two guitars, harmonica, violin, cello and beat box make the Blue Bottle Collection a truly unique band that defies categorization.
