Time in a Bottle: Singer/Songwriters of the '60s and '70s (UMC)

The 1960s and ’70s saw an explosion of “Singer/Songwriters”, including artists such as James Taylor, Simon and Garfunkle, America, Jim Croce, Joni Mitchell, Carol King, Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young and more, releasing hit after hit on American radio. Ushering in a lighter rock era that still remains on heavy rotation today at stations across the country. 
On Feb. 27th, 28th, and 29th, the Uptown Music Collective’s Special Performance Group 1 will present a tribute to those artists, with the performance Time in a Bottle: Singer/Songwriters of the ’60s & ’70s. This performance will feature some of the greatest hits of the genre along with some deep cuts, performed with all of the passion and energy you’ve come to expect from the Uptown Music Collective.

An emotionally powerful and intimate musical about two New Yorkers in their twenties who fall in and out of love over the course of five years. The show's unconventional structure consists of Cathy telling her story backwards while Jamie tells his story chronologically; the two characters only meet once, at their wedding in the middle of the show.
