THE CITATIONS (2008.12 - ) are a American blues-rock trio from Brentwood, California.

The band says: "The Citations are more of a family than a band. Since the first night that we got together in December of 2008 we have become the brothers that we never had. Playing together show after show has become a great time of family, friends and is always fun. This band plays original music, a variety of blues and blues-rock covers and occasionally ventures into southern rock and jam-band territory. They appeared at several outdoor festivals, street fairs and a variety of venues in Northern California.

The band: Paul Hurt - lead vocal, guitar Brad Sprague - bass, background vocal Billy Vance - drums, percussion, background vocal
