Concert Review: Zolita @ Songbyrd Music House (2/18/23)

Zolita performed the first show of her first ever headlining tour at Songbyrd Music House on February 18th.

When local bands can headline at the 9:30 Club, it’s a fun treat and highlights the power of the fans elevating bands to new heights. Add the fact that the 9:30 Club was almost sold out (some were also there for the opener, Jeff Draco) speaks volumes to how far The Crystal Casino Band has come in their eight years of existence.
