The concert will be part of Citizen Soldier’s Secret Songs II Tour.<\/p>\n

The last time Citizen Soldier played Archer, it was part of its HeartSupport Tour to support HeartSupport \u2014 a mental health nonprofit founded by August Burns Red frontman Jake Luhrs.<\/p>\n

Since its formation in 2016, Citizen Soldier has discussed mental health issues in its music.<\/p>\n

The band has said its name is an attempt to personify the “struggles being fought within.”<\/p>\n

Its music has become an anthem for those battling anxiety, depression and trauma, and its live shows foster connection and catharsis for fans.<\/p>\n

The band last year released its eighth album, “Family Heirlooms,” and this year already has released a new disc, “Secret Songs \u2014 Vol. 1.”<\/p>\n

Rockers Adelitas Way have had nine songs hit the Top 30 on the Mainstream Rock chart, including the 2012 No. 1 hit “Criticize.”<\/p>\n

Three of its seven albums since its 2009 self-titled debut have hit the Top 10 on the Hard Rock Albums chart \u2014 most recently 2016’s “Getaway.” Its most recent album was 2023’s “Power.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ALLENTOWN, Pa. \u2014 Allentown’s Archer Music Hall, open just 10 months, already has its first repeat headline act.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":94244,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[119,46275,121,120,46276,46277,46278],"class_list":["post-94243","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-allentown","tag-allentown","tag-allentown-concerts","tag-allentown-headlines","tag-allentown-news","tag-archer-music-hall-concerts","tag-citizen-soldier-allentown","tag-citizen-soldier-at-archer-music-hall"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94243","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=94243"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94243\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/94244"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=94243"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=94243"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=94243"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
