  • Amazing!!

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

    American Authors were awesome! They had so much energy on stage. I cannot wait until they come back to see them again!

  • Awesome Experience

    by Steney90 on 10/21/14Uptown Theater - Kansas CityRating: 5 out of 5

    All 3 bands were incredible and fun to watch. American Authors made my 11 year old daughter's night. She got to be right next to the stage and touch his hand, she smiled for days!

  • by Fujimo14 on 10/21/14Uptown Theater - Kansas CityRating: 5 out of 5

    All 3 performances were energetic and entertaining.

  • You will leave very very happy!

    by hippapotomous on 10/20/14Uptown Theater - Kansas CityRating: 5 out of 5

    Echosmith puts on a great show for teenagers that is for dang sure. The Mowglis rock every time I see them. They are nothing but happy and will have you extremely excited and ready to roll for the headliner American Authors. And them, wow. They put on one hell of a show. Im saying it now that they will be bigger than Maroon 5! Absolutely great show

  • by Piperdown on 10/5/14House of Blues San Diego - San DiegoRating: 5 out of 5

    American authors have a great performance, they love what they do and it shows, house off blues is a perfect venue. All sets were good and you get a great evening. Also a great surprise was how good a band and performance Ecosmith was, that alone was worth the price of admission. Will do again.

  • American Authors - 14 hour drive was worth it!

    by funlover25 on 5/16/14The Norva - NorfolkRating: 5 out of 5

    My sister and I drove 14 hours round trip in one day to see this concert. I would do it again in a heartbeat. I've attended a lot of concerts, and this was the best I've ever been to. While we were waiting in line before the show, James, Dave, Matt, and Zac walked by. They took the time to chat with us and take pictures. James even waved at us specifically during the concert. The artists themselves are truly genuine and believe what they sing. They added amazing solo parts to their songs that you don't get listening to their album otherwise. When they played Best Day of My Life...the energy level at the concert exploded. The crowd was 100% into it. The band stayed late after the show and took pictures with fans too! High energy, sensational music, great crowd interaction - I can't say enough good things. I highly recommend American Authors. Don't pass up the chance to go!!! Warning: you will suffer form post-concert depression after attending one of their shows. ;)

  • AMAZING!

    by musicjunckie on 5/12/14The Norva - NorfolkRating: 5 out of 5

    One night I'll never forget! They interacted with the crowd and their energy made it that much better! Every second was unforgettable! Totally going again!!

    The American Authors were amazing & I love The NorVa!

  • American Authors was amazing! Great energy!

    by Sebastian777 on 5/12/14The Norva - NorfolkRating: 5 out of 5

    Venue was great-American Authors was amazing! They bring great energy to the stage, have positive music, and engage the crowd well. Would see them over and over! Also awesome that they took time after the show to take pictures with fans. Would have liked for that to have been less rushed, but understand their need to get on the road. Give the show a 15 on a scale 1-10! Have become a huge fan and would love to see them come back!

  • So much fun!

    by Jessmica11 on 5/12/14The Norva - NorfolkRating: 4 out of 5

    They have such great energy and the crowd danced the whole time!

  • American Authors is the best new band out there!!

    by AmberAngel on 4/7/1420th Century Theater - CincinnatiRating: 5 out of 5

    We had an amazing time at The American Authors concert! They are always so energetic and fun to watch. They love audience participation. They are all awesome guys and are so nice. They seem to love Cincinnati and I hope that they will always come here on their torus no matter how big they get. I am a lifelong fan after seeing them at the Q-102 Bosom Ball 2013 and will see them everytime they come to town. I was also excited because I was by the stage exit and got a high five from all of the band members. I hope that they continue to play small venues in cincinnati for the pure fact that it's a more intimate experience with them and we have the chance to be up close by the stage. I highly recommend that anyone go see them. They are up and coming and have a long career ahead. All of their songs are great!

    Amazing band, even better live. Perfect venue. Just an overall great time!

  • by KMO1022 on 4/6/1420th Century Theater - CincinnatiRating: 5 out of 5

    Amazing show. I love being up close and personal with the band. They even came out after the show and met their fans! Can't wait to see them again.

  • by Anonymous on 4/6/1420th Century Theater - CincinnatiRating: 5 out of 5

    An absolutely great show with three great bands. The opening act really got the crowd in the mood and American Authors was great as always. I can't wait for them to come back to the area to see them again

  • American Authors are for real!

    by KLT2013 on 4/6/1420th Century Theater - CincinnatiRating: 5 out of 5

    They were awesome, very entertaining. They are the real deal and will make it big! The sound was a little off, but that was a venue issue rather than a band issue. Awesome, awesome! Wild Cub....just ok.

  • by Anonymous on 3/27/14House of Blues New Orleans - New OrleansRating: 4 out of 5

    Wild cub was awesome! American Authors put on a great show! The energy & intimacy of the venue worked perfectly!

  • by AngelSlr on 12/13/13House Of Blues - San DiegoRating: 5 out of 5

    I loved it all the bands were amazing and then the intimacy of the Delta Room made it a hundred times better
