Citizen Bare "Carnival" Album Cover

Its been a marathon this month finishing up the Citizen Bare Carnival LP and prepping for the sold-outHigher Ground show with The Aerolites!  We had a great time performing for all those that were able to attend!  For those that were unable to attend, stay tuned. We have a video on the way.
Many thanks are in order for making the Audio Carnival show a success:
Upcoming Shows:
Citizen Bare would like to thank Kevin, Nick, Z, and Andy at Higher Ground, Oggy for doing a great job with the sound, and Chris Maille for doing a great job on the lighting.
Thank you to The Aerolites for putting on a great show and sharing the stage with us.
Many thanks to Brian Ling for his clown, MC and balloon skills.  He was fun and we all enjoyed him.
We also want to thank Hell’n Fury for her act, and The Burlington Bombers who were there in part to promote “The Great Derby Social” in Enfield, NH on January 28, 2012. This event will raise funds for breast cancer research.
Thanks to Vickie Gratton Photography, Brian McDonald, Jeff Cooper of cooperAV and his crew (special thanks to John Meli), and Darci Pepin-LaCroix for running the merch table.
Thank you to all of the sponsors that helped make the event a success:

If you are on facebook don’t forget to “LIKE” the pages for our sponsors as well!

And last but not least… this event was put on for you, our fans.  The biggest thanks goes to YOU! Thank you for your support over the past 4+ years; from the humble beginnings of the acoustic duo to where Citizen Bare is now! A full band with a newly released LP.  Without your support we know that we would not continue to grow our fanbase or have the success we’ve experienced.  We sincerely thank you and look forward to more opportunities to perform for you in the coming year.
January 5, 2012: Monkey House Winooski, VT with local singer/songwriter Milton Busker.
Important News
We also want to mention that Darin Savard will not be a member of Citizen Bare as we move forward in 2012. We want to thank him for his 18 months with the band and wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.

NAMI Walks Vermont 2011 & Other News

September 16th, 2011

We wanted to tell our readers and fans that Citizen Bare is proudly taking part in the NAMIWalks Vermont 2011 fundraiser that supports NAMI Vermont in providing programs for support, education, and advocacy for families and individuals living with mental illness.  When you consider that 1 in 4 adults (57.7 million Americans) experience a mental health disorder in any given year, I think it highlights the need for such programs.

Please come down to the Burlington Waterfront in Burlington, VT on Saturday, September 24, 2011 starting @ 9:30am to register and/or walk for the 5k event starting @ 10:30am. Citizen Bare will play some music during the registration & kickoff…as well as when people return from the walk. Hopefully you can help NAMI meet their fundraising goals too. To join a walking team, donate, or sponsor, go to http://www.nami.org/namiwalks/vt

In other Citizen Bare news…

We are psyched to be putting on a big show @ Higher Ground with The Aerolites in December. We will nail down the details and add another post about that pretty soon.

Also…

We are finally working on creating an album! What do you think of that? I know that we are thrilled for the undertaking. Anybody that is interested in investing into this Citizen Bare project is welcome. ;-)   And of course we appreciate your support. :-)

Finally…in an anticlimatic way…

Its that time of year again where CB’s website and overall graphical content will be getting an update and some revamping. So please, keep an eye on the website, facebook, and around the town for your Citizen Bare.

~ CB
