Here is the final push for Citizen Bare’s gig at the New Moon this Friday. The New Moon Cafe at 150 Cherry Street, Burlington, VT is one of the first venues that Citizen Bare played at as an acoustic duo. This Friday we return as an electric quartet, playing our first acoustic gig.
In previous communications we had been stating that the gig was a benefit for Freedom in Creation, which is an organization that is meant to help bring healing and rehabilitation for former child soldiers through art. Freedom in Creation was June’s benefit organization for the Sound Effect Series at the New Moon.
July’s benefit organization for the Sound Effect Series is Love 146. Love 146 is an organization with a mission for ending child slavery and sex trafficking, which is a cause that Citizen Bare has been raising awareness for through their music since their inception. It’s great to be returning to New Moon and supporting an organization with a purpose that is so important to us.
Don’t forget to sign up for our official ReverbNation mailing list.
The July 3rd, 2010 gig with Birchwood Coupe at the Monkey House was a really good time. Thanks to all of our fans who came out in the heat and enjoyed a little bit of the Independence Day weekend with Citizen Bare. Thank you to Birchwood Coupe for inviting us to play the event too.
Highlights of the night included Darin with his shirt off, Andrew getting jiggy with it, and Jesse getting his groove on. If you didn’t make it to this show, you certainly do not want to miss the next one.

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.
Welcome to the blog of Citizen Bare! While we are building the official CitizenBare.COM website we thought it would be cool to still give people a glimpse into the world of the Bare Citizens. Andrew James & John Gratton will be posting about various topics that stir them to commentary. Please come back often and comment on anything you would like.
