Past Shows, Upcoming Shows and King of the Blues

Monday, July 27th, 2009

What happens when you combine Andys absentmindedness and Johns work overload? You don’t have a blog post for a good 3 months:) So anyways we have a lot of things to catch you up on now.

First off the June 15th Monkey House gig was a ton of fun. Thanks to Darin for opening up for us. We had a ton of fun and also thanks to all those who came out to that show.

The June 17th Higher Ground gig was a ton of fun and we had a terrific showing. You guys were so great coming out in droves on a wednesday night, the guy running sound said that he would definitely be seeing us again. So that is encouraging.

We played our first wedding gig on June 27th and that was an absolute blasty. Seriously the food was terrific, the views were amazing, the people danced and the music was out of this world….ummm I mean we had fun:)

Ok and our last show was the North Street Ramble on July 25th. It was definitely a different crowd than we were used to but it was a ton fun of as well. John and I have a ton fun playing music together I am not sure if you could tell by this post:)

The last couple of months for us have been busy and it looks like we are only going to get busier. Thanks to all of you who support us for that boost in gigs:) we couldn’t do it without you.

Upcoming gigs August 24th @ the Monkey House w/ the Breezeway and OhM. On August 26th we have been invited to open for Ohm @ Metronome but that show is still in the works.

The big news is that John is going to be playing in the King of the Blues competition on August 27th in Portland, ME and if he does well in that first round there could be more rounds to follow. There will be a separate post about that later:)

Lastly and certainly not leastly wanted to let you guys know just how much we appreciate all of the support you have shown us over the past two years. Hopefully we can keep our communication fresh and the music coming. The best way to catch us is at the following links.

Citizen Bare Update and Year in Review

Tuesday, December 16th, 2008

Greetings and Happy Holidays to all friends of Citizen Bare,

2008 was a great year for us, we had a chance to play out almost every month except for the November and December, wrote some new tunes, played with friends and family on stage, prepared for recording and made lots of new friends. We really appreciate all the support that we have gotten over the last year and half and hope to continue moving the direction that we are currently taking.

Both John and I are currently trying to finish up our Bachelor degrees as well keeping ourselves busy with work and family, but that does not keep us from trying to make socially charged good music. Currently we are working on recording a 5 song demo that will include a song or two that we have yet to play out live. We have really enjoyed playing at the Monkey House in Winooski as well as the New Moon Café in Burlington and we are also hoping to play out some different venues around the state.

We will start 2009 off with a show at the Monkey House on January 26, at this time we are the only band that will be playing but make sure to check back in at our MySpace, Facebook and blog for updates. We look forward to a busy 2009 and to connecting with old friends and new.
