  • American Authors loves their fans

    by MSinMA on 11/8/14Paradise Rock Club - BostonRating: 5 out of 5

    Their show was full of energy. It was clear they loved playing their music and they loved their fans. They played their songs well, but they didn't sound like they were right out of the studio. It was a great.

  • Best Day Of My Life

    by Alohainohio on 11/6/14Newport Music Hall - ColumbusRating: 5 out of 5

    I love their music and they are even better in concert!!! I stayed and did a meet and greet with the band where I was able to get photos with them and their autographs. They are such sweet guys!! Totally down to earth!! Show was full of energy and they love their fans and it shows!!

  • American authors were superb

    by toothlessninja on 11/5/14Newport Music Hall - ColumbusRating: 4 out of 5

    It was such an awesome concert!! I always love them when they perform. I didn't think they could get better, but they did. I had even MORE fun this time! The venue was nice, but it was freezing up in there!

  • Best concert!

    by Jils on 11/5/14Newport Music Hall - ColumbusRating: 5 out of 5

    The band was so welcoming, fun and upbeat! I didnt realize how amazing their voices where!! They sand 2 acapella songs that blew the crowd away!!!!

  • by Anonymous on 11/5/14Newport Music Hall - ColumbusRating: 5 out of 5

    This concert was incredible! Oh Honey was a great opening act. I wasn't too thrilled with The Mowgli's which I was surprised about. But American Authors were so talented and had such an amazing stage presence. I want to see this concert again.

  • American Authors is Amazing

    by Brownieb32 on 11/3/14Deluxe at Old National Centre - IndianapolisRating: 5 out of 5

    We saw American Authors open for One Republic at a big venue over the summer and they were great there. At a small venue they were even better and was actually amazed that they even played at a venue like the Deluxe at Old National Centre. Venue is very intimate and suited for small bands. i don't think American Authors will be playing at anything but huge venues in a few years from now. We would go to American Authors no matter where they were playing.

  • Great concert!!!!

    by SindyPerceval on 10/31/14Buckhead Theatre - AtlantaRating: 3 out of 5

    This was my first AmericanAuthors concert, and I decided to bring a friend with me. Oh Honey and the Mowglis were awesome... It was my first time hearing their music. Energy was off the charts. The only downside to the concert was when I felt like I was surrounded by teenage girls... And I mostly was. Unforgettable performance by American Authors.

  • Amazing!!

    by Americanauthorsfan on 10/30/14Buckhead Theatre - AtlantaRating: 5 out of 5

    I pretty much was front row and general admission. American authors was awesome and it really was the best night. It was worth the 2 hour drive there and back. They interacted with the audience. And the openings were great too! I do dint expect that!!

  • A night I'll ALWAYS remember!!!!!!!

    by Lindzeee on 10/30/14Deluxe at Old National Centre - IndianapolisRating: 5 out of 5

    Oh Honey, The Mowgli's, and American Authors were absolutely PHENOMENAL! All three artists have such upbeat messages that promotes hope in such a hopeless world. I needed that more than anything! PLUS, what an AMAZING opportunity to MEET them after the show!!!! American Authors even had a meet and greet, where they took our picture with them FOR US and posted it on Facebook! I also loved the #bestdayofyourlife photo-booth opportunity, where they showed our photos behind the band when they were performing. It added a very personal element to the event. I've been to a lot of shows, but this one really went above and beyond! Way to go Honda Civic Tour!!! <3

    I loved the show, and I liked the atmosphere of it all. Just don't buy a parking pass.

  • American Authors/The Mowglis/Oh Honey

    by BigGoonie on 10/30/14Deluxe at Old National Centre - IndianapolisRating: 4 out of 5

    American Authors are good and worth the price of admission, but Katie Earl and The Mowglis are the real deal!!

  • American Authors were amazing!

    by icenogler on 10/30/14Deluxe at Old National Centre - IndianapolisRating: 5 out of 5

    Loved the entire evening. Oh Honey, The Mowgli's and American Authors were all amazing! Positive bands with great attitudes and cool music.

  • Awesome show from start to finish!

    by Rosencrantz77 on 10/30/14Deluxe at Old National Centre - IndianapolisRating: 5 out of 5

    Oh Honey, The Mowglis, and American Authors were excellent. Each act stronger than the previous one. American Authors were just flat out rockin' and I loved every minute of it.

  • Awsome American Authors

    by Anonymous on 10/29/14Buckhead Theatre - AtlantaRating: 5 out of 5

    The venue was amazing. We felt really close to the band. I think they sounded better in concert than recorded. This bands music is upbeat and positive and I love the lyrics to their songs!

  • American Authors- phenomenal!!!!

    by Dawnya on 10/28/14Buckhead Theatre - AtlantaRating: 5 out of 5

    The venue was fantastic and the music was out of this world. I was supremely impressed. I can't wait for them to come back to Atlanta!

  • One of the best live shows I've seen.

    by AdahRue on 10/28/14Buckhead Theatre - AtlantaRating: 5 out of 5

    I was surprised how many tickets were still available on the day of the show, considering how much radio airplay Best Day of my Life has gotten. But it did make getting standing room space close to the stage much easier. Anyways, the show was incredible. We were standing second row behind barrier, so our view was great. The whole band interacted with the crowd throughout the show and encouraged audience participation. The lead singer (Zac) jumped down into the space between stage and barrier to be closer to the audience numerous times. They played all of their hits and did two great covers as well. Their music is perfect for live performances and they have great on-stage energy. The only bad part of the show was how many very young teenaged girls were in the crowd (average age 13-14), which I thought was odd for a part-rock/part-folk show. They have terrible concert crowd etiquette. But that isn't a reflection on the artists because obviously they have little control over that. Also, we weren't able to stay afterwards, but from what I heard both of the opening acts as well as American Authors met up with fans outside for pictures/autographs.

  • "Best Day of My Life!"

    by KatyCat4Ever on 10/28/14Buckhead Theatre - AtlantaRating: 4 out of 5

    The American Authors concert was such a different experience. It was in the Buckhead Theater which was a nice quaint theater. American Authors was so engaged with the audience. They interacted with them as much as they could. At the end of the concert, you got the chance to meet them. I thought this was really cool that anyone at the concert got to meet them and not just people that paid extra to get a vip pass to meet them.

  • American Authors was #bestdayofmylife

    by jbsnyder on 10/28/14Buckhead Theatre - AtlantaRating: 5 out of 5

    This is hands down the best concert I have ever been too. They interact with the crowd and keep the energy alive the entire show!! Afterwards, there was even a meet and greet so we could talk to the band and get pictures. I could not have asked for anything more. Simply the best!!!

  • FANTASTIC Show

    by ATLConcertGoer1994 on 10/28/14Buckhead Theatre - AtlantaRating: 5 out of 5

    I had a blast at this show! The venue was the perfect size, the band was super nice and interactive, and I they really put on a quality show. They are one of the most underrated bands out there right now, I love American Authors!
