Citizen Soldier

Show was awesome. CS was what got my wife through a rough time. She's been listening to you for years and your music was there for her when she needed you most. Having that personal moment with Jake after the show was something that meant more to her than he could possibly know. THANK YOU JAKE , for your songs and for being who you ARE.

I went alone which for me was very scary. I cried the first 20 min. Once thousand below played a song i knew and a small mosh pit started i felt so much relief..I felt i was where I needed to be. Then Jake came on the stage and that was a wrap my heart knew I was right where I needed to be. Ended up being the best concert of my life and a hug from him was something I didn't even know I really needed♡ amazing night overall!!

Such a good show. The bands there were amazing, and Citizen Soldier did so well. There were several health instances in the audience during the show that Citizen Soldier did their best to handle by directing the security to hand out water to everyone that requested it. It shows how much Citizen Soldier cares about their fans, and I think, alongside their music, it still warrants a five star review despite the show having to be cut short as more fans fell ill. I love Citizen Soldier, and I hope to see them again!

I loved seeing this band here in SLC but I wished they played before the other bands. They didn't start playing till almost 9:30 pm and most people were either drunk or dehydrated and they had to stop twice to get help for the people who were passing out. It would have been nice to hear them play longer if they were one of the earlier bands.

I have been to a lot of shows in my life that was the first show I ever went to where I felt nothing but pure enjoyment emotion felt loved felt appreciated as a fan all of the acts were amazing skydaddy was on point icon made My girls night when she complimented her on her shirt so my little girl took her shirt off and threw it on stage for her like I am so impressed with the way they make the fans feel accepted best show I've ever been to and I have been to Trace Adkins Toby Keith I've been too massive arenas PNC you name it I have never went to a concert where I felt so appreciated as a fan like I did last night.

Venue very accommodating, as I arranged in advance to request the accommodations area as I attended the event with my service dog and I was needing to bring respiratory supplies and oxygen. Bands were great, and when Citizen Soldier came out I loved the citizen soldier “group therapy” feel. Over all epic experience. Can’t wait till they come back!!!

Citizen Solider completely exceeded my expectations. There were many many tears many hugs and I got to meet the band and talk to all of the members individually. Even got to hug and personally thank Jake for saving my life with so many of his songs. So beyond grateful I had the opportunity to meet the whole band 💜 can’t wait for them to come back to CT 🥹🥹🥹

This was honestly one of the best concerts I have ever been to, and I've been to a lot of them. Citizen Soldier, Sky Dxddy, Icon for Hire and Keith Wallen were amazing. Musically speaking, they were wonderful. The energy they brought to the show was like nothing I've seen, and I've been a performing musician for years. While it wasn't the same kind of bouncy energy I have been part of with other rock shows, the deep, emotional power of that performance and those musicians was incredible. I cannot speak highly enough of them. Not to mention Jake from Citizen Soldier standing outside the venue after it closed to sign things and give hugs IN THE RAIN to make sure everyone had the opportunity to do so. My sole and only complaint is with one part of the venue. The flooring there is extremely hard and uneven to stand on and led to a lot of leg and foot pain. The padding they have down is so incredibly worn out that it is no longer good for legs and feet. While I am more sensitive than most due to disabilities, it was a major problem for me. I also heard that feedback from everyone else in the crowd I spoke to, so it may be worth tending to. That said, the staff were great (including giving water out to those at the rail so they didn't need to lose their spot), and everything else about the space was fantastic!

The concert was awesome! I had a lot of fun and I would definitely go to another of their concerts. The only issue was that the venue only took cash for bottled drinks and you had to stand the entire concert if you were in the pit. Other than that the concert was great and I hope that Citizen Soldier comes back for another concert soon!

We could not wait for this show and it was just as amazing as we thought it would be! It was crowded, so we upgraded to VIP and it was not expensive either, which allowed us to get closer and have the best view! This was an early birthday present from myself to Ibey, and I have never seen Ibey so excited and he knew almost all of the lyrics 😁 These guys are an independent band we found randomly on Instagram around two years ago! The lead singer is a trauma therapist for his day job, so their shows are different, but in a great way and their music focuses on mental health, which is so meaningful! They have built up such a following that a couple came from the UK for this show, another couple from Sweden, and a small group from Norway! 😳 Then after the show we met the lead singer, Jake, got a photo with him and he autographed our shirts 😀

Venue was very warm and not a lot of room, but the staff was phenomenal and went above and beyond to help people! Citizen Soldier was amazing! Great audience interactions, amazing music, and overall such an amazing experience. Icon For Hire gave a great performance and played a really good high energy set. Really enjoyed them. Halocene were good, though I wish they played more original songs and fewer covers. Highlight was definitely Citizen Soldier and the title of "Group Therapy Tour" was very accurate. When it comes to shows that have left me feeling much better mentally after them this tops the chart!

Citizen Solider was beyond belief once again... Jake (lead vocals) in his dedication to his fans went on with the show despite battling laryngitis, paused the show twice to ensure fans were safe with the extreme heat, and connected person to person afterwards. Truly a unique and welcoming 'group therapy' atmosphere! Going again tomorrow in PA!

Second time seeing Citizen Soldier, but first time it being a full show since last time it was acoustic (which was awesome). Once again , they knocked it out of the park! I did the VIP sound check and had the pleasure of meeting the band again. The fact that they remembered me from the October show was incredible and humbling. It speaks to how much they care about what they do and the fans. The opening acts Halocene and icon for Hire were incredible as well. Very high energy and their performance was amazing. I would definitely see them all again. The venue you Bottom Lounge was nice as well. Great staff and very friendly and professional. It was my wife’s birthday too and she was extremely happy. If I could give 10 stars, I would.

These guys are my favorite band, that's why I splurged on the VIP tickets as an early birthday present for myself. I got into a car accident on the way there, and was unable to participate in the VIP benefits with the other VIPs. The guys brought me and my sister into the green room to hang out with them, because they heard of what happened and wanted to make sure we got some benefits anyway. They played our favorite songs during the show and dedicated them to us. They made us feel so special, getting into that car accident wasn't that bad.

Citizen Soldier’s music is life changing. It quite literally saved my life. Their songs have so much meaning behind them and help so many people. They show you that you are not alone no matter what you are going through. Getting to see them in concert was absolutely incredible. It was a life changing experience. We even got to meet the band after and got their autographs. They were all so kind and welcoming. This was the best concert by far I have ever been too. They are amazing live. I highly recommend going to one of their concerts. You will not regret it. This was a birthday I will always remember. Thank you citizen!

Absolutely Amazing Rockin Time and a Dream come true for me 🔥🎵🤘 I was treated so VERY Nice by your staff and fellow fans as I was in a wheelchair and was given an opportunity to sit were I could see the bands. We'll definitely be back and please get Citizen Soldier back soon please 😊 Thank y'all, Kim of New Bern NC

Purgatory was not as big of a venue as I was expecting. It was so easy to get in and also to do the VIP upgrade. No problems at all. Met some amazing people. The VIP show was amazing and Smash was an amazing band to meet. I will admit though, I was mainly there for Citizen Soldier. And they beyond lived up to my expectations. And Jake holding me while I bawled just made it even better. Can't wait to watch them get bigger

I’d give more stars if I could. What an amazing band with an amazing message. They were kind, stayed afterwards, spoke with everyone who wanted to meet them, posed for dozens of photos, and autographed anything you asked them to! See this band and see them as often as you can! You won’t be disappointed. 🙌🏼🔥♥️

Not my first concert, but by far my best concert experience ever!!!! Jake is such a good guy and have the best hugs and the band was everything I’d imagined then being in person!! I’d never heard Smash into Pieces before but they gained a new big fan last night. Best road trip EVER!!!

Citizen Soldier was awesome. Their music literally saved my life when I was feeling extremely depressed and considering ending my life. Being able to see the band whose music saved me and kept me going was unforgettable. Wish they played more than 5 songs though. The main band, Smash Into Pieces, was a band I’ve never heard of until this event. They were very interesting and had some good music.
