Nicotine Dolls

It doesn't get any better than the Nicotine Dolls! Their live shows are amazing. From Sam's sultry, sexy voice to his comedic genius and quick wit to his big heart on his sleeve...pure gold. Oh, and he's smoking HOT, too!! Then you have the beautiful specimen of a man, John Hayes, smoking up the room with those quick, nimble fingers on electric guitar. It doesn't stop there. Merritt's luxurious locks whip around as he fondles that bass. Shall I go on? There's Abel, the hottest drummer around making it look so effortless. Watch out for his innocent smile. Finally, Dan the Man! A do it all road manager that kicks ass on sax! Put all those guys together and it's damn perfection! Go see them! You won't be disappointed. Tell them Brandy sent you!!

I had the absolute privilege of seeing these guys live, and I can honestly say I left that show feeling changed. Their energy was so raw, passionate, and completely genuine—it wasn’t just a performance; it was a connection. From the moment they stepped on stage, they had the crowd hooked. They weren’t trying to be anything but themselves—funny, down-to-earth, passionate, and full of heart. It felt like we were all in on something special together. They didn’t just play music—they shared it, and you could feel it in every note, every lyric, every interaction. The way they engaged with the crowd made the room feel small in the best way—like a giant jam session with friends. And the music? It touched my soul. There were moments I caught myself completely still, just feeling. And others where I was dancing like I forgot what it meant to be self-conscious. If you ever get the chance to see them live, do it. Their presence, authenticity, and talent are something you don’t come across often. A truly unforgettable experience.

I flew in from California Just to see these guys...I had no idea what to expect about the venue etc... I can honestly say this was Thee Best concert I have ever been to. Wic Whitney was Amazing and the Nicotine Dolls were just perfection. Sam's voice I mean Come Onnnn!!!!!! I was extremely fortunate to run into them in the alley and got to take a picture with John and John so that made my entire trip. I brought 3 family members with me who had No idea who these guys were but are now instant fans. Please come to California so I can see you again!! Go See Them!!!!

An Unforgettable, Electric Night Nicotine Dolls put on an absolutely insane show-emotional, hilarious, full of talent, and yes, even some unexpected thirst traps. The crowd energy was electric from start to finish, and the band made the night deeply personal by adding some surprises to the setlist. 30 Somehow was especially powerful, as the singer shared a deeply personal moment with the audience. Every song hit hard, every switch-up felt intentional, and the entire performance was an experience to remember. If you get the chance to see them live- do it.

Very down to earth group of guys. Great show, sang my heart out. I'm not a city girl, let alone a "foufounes électrique" kind of girl, but Nicotine Dolls made it more than worth it. - the woman at the table to the right of the sound desk whose wife did security all night to make sure I (her wife) had THE best time ever.

The show was amazing. They are great musicians. Sam knows how to connect with the audience, and the audience responds loudly! His charisma and the quality/range/power of his voice are undeniable. The interpretation of their songs and covers was flawless. I really appreciated the song he wrote for his grandmother, it was very hearthfelt and touching. I don't usually listen to this type of music and go to concerts of this genre, but I made an exception for them because they are original and their songs make me emote. I usually listen to metal ; ). I wish they come back to Montreal again, I'll be there. P.S. : Plenty of ladies in the audience looking mighty fine!

DEF better than Stone Pony. Clean place, big open rafters & floor. Stage can be seen from everywhere except right at the entrance. The two bar areas are gorgeous tho I assume from other comments that the drinks are priced just as wildly as any other concert venue. Sound system is damned good, tho if you’re ND you will prolly want to have some kind of ear protection. Lightning would have been excellent if they hadn’t had the freakin xenon headlights of stage lighting swing directly into the audience’s eyes every other minute. As for the Dolls, the show and music was KILLER. The chemistry of the band is strong af, Sam’s voice is powerful and moving, and overall they simply drew us in. It’s not every act that can have you laughing, crying, and party hyped all in the span of an hour or so. I cannot stress strongly enough, that if you have the chance to see them, TAKE IT!!!!

This was my 4th Nicotine Dolls show. Sam and the boys never disappoint! They sounded amazing. ❤️ I will say I was disappointed in the way some attendee’s were yelling over the artist trying to sing during the opening act’s set and Dumping drinks on bystanders. Very disrespectful. The Underground staff should have escorted them out, instead of ignoring it for the full 6-7 song set. I felt so bad for him. He actually had a good voice!

I arrived when my ticket said the doors open at 7:00pm. I asked where the Meet & Greet go and he said it started at 6:00pm ! I Paid for the Meet and Greet weeks in advance. I was told to speak with the venue manager, Jimmy. He was very nice about it and said they were having a issue with notifying people about the M&G times. He went looking for the Bands travel manager who left. I was instructed to wait by the ticket booth after the show to speak to him. I waited and waited and no one came. Around midnight I left. Never getting to see anyone. :( The saving grace with that the band was totally awesome. They all put on and fantastic show. I only wish I could've have met them after traveling all that way to see them.

It was one of the best concerts. I have been to in a very long time. It was awesome. The music was excellent. Sam Cerie Can't sing and get a very wonderful show. I really love it. I had a great time engages. The audience and he even got down in the middle of the audience And sang I hope they come back to San. Antonio texas it was great

I’ve never left a review for a band before. That said, I absolutely need to in this case. Like many, I found nicotine dolls in my feed on social media, and loved their sound. I followed them, downloaded a few songs on Spotify, and suddenly found they were going to be in Tempe. I couldn’t resist and bought tickets. you must see them live! Their studio recordings are great, don’t get me wrong, but live this band is amazing! My husband and I travel the world for music, and I can’t remember the last time I felt so elated by band’s enthusiasm to play for us. They were fun, engaging, and clearly having such a great time on the stage. They sounded fantastic, but that seems secondary to how they interact with the audience. If they aren’t already on your list, make them a priority. It’s only a matter of time before they’re playing much. Bigger venues and tickets are harder to get. I’m checking the tour dates now for another show.

Wow! Talk about an unforgettable show at an incredible venue! Huge shoutout to Kevin, the GM extraordinaire, for pulling out all the stops and making it an experience to remember. The ND crew? Absolute gems – down-to-earth, fun-loving, and talented to the core. Their original tracks hit you right in the feels, leaving your brain in a whirlwind of emotions for days. And don't even get me started on their covers – total nostalgia trip for those of you whose ears appreciate music more than most. If you haven't caught these guys live yet, you're seriously missing out. Trust me, you won't regret it.

Awesome night at The Bluebird Theater! Adam Bonomo opened and was wonderful. The Nicotine Dolls were amazing beginning to end. Lead singer, Sam Cieri, called the night “a snow day hangout” and it truly was. They could not be more charismatic, upbeat, amazing vocals and rocking band. Definitely made the snow melt with their warmth, energy & enthusiasm. Looking forward to seeing and hearing them ahead.

The Guys were ABOVE AND BEYOND AMAZING. Very kind, down to earth, and OH SO WAY BEYOND TALENTED! I will always hold this evening close to my heart, as they brought a wonderful new friend In to my life from across the big ocean. It's amazing how 4 talented men can bring people together from 1,000's of moles away! One day She and I will attending of the NicotineDolls concerts together! You all are! SIMPLY THE BEST! Thank you so much Sam, Abel, John H & John M!

The Venue was great, lots of room with some nice seating options and the staff was friendly. The band was amazing! These guys always put on the best show. The music is perfection, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the guys are great humans. This is my second show of theirs and will not be near my last. Do not miss out on the chance to see them before they really strike it big. They are selling out shows all over the place already. Wish them all the luck and success, they deserve it ❤️

October 26, 2023 - Nicotine Dolls @ Woodlawn Theatre* This Venue is a great place to see a Concert, it is standing room only, for 250 people. You are able to get close to the stage( be considerate, please). They also have a full bar. My first time at this Venue & first time seeing Nicotine Dolls. They had a VIP, Meet & Greet ticket, that included a T-shirt, special song played & sung by Sam, autograph's & photos! The manager Bekah was wonderful, she went above & beyond! I had a really good time here, Sam & the guys put on an incredible show! I loved how Sam interacted with his fans! I couldn't believe how he got off the stage,went in the crowd, sang a Cher song, Believe, then got back on stage. He sang directly at me! ( He did so to other fans as well). It was just a special night & if they get back this way, guess who is going to the Concert, again!!! You guessed it, ME!!! Sam is " Simply The Best!!" I highly recommend this Venue! I most definitely & highly recommend you go see "Nicotine Dolls!!!!"

Fantastic show! The meet and greet was small and personal. Which was awesome. The band seemed relaxed and excited to be there to meet their fans. However, the venue was your typical dive bar, very small, no air conditioning, literally stood next to the men's room door AND the kitchen was literally right behind me. BUT I would have stood in a back alley full of sewer water to watch this band. Dramatic? Yes. But true. I can't wait to see them again in Nashville. ❤️

After seeing Sam Cieri on AGT I instantly fell in love with his amazing voice and talent. I have been following him and Nicotine Dolls since. When I saw they were performing in Asbury Park I had to attend! I must say Sam and the band were fantastic!!!! Nicotine Dolls is well on their way to becoming a super relevant band "In My Opinion!" wink wink!

Outstanding! The only complaint was that they were the opener and not the headliner. Super talented and sound better live than they do recorded which is rare. Sam really packs the emotions into his songs and is a funny guy as well. They met their fans after the show and are genuinely grateful for each one. Didn’t think I could love them more, but I do. Bravo on a great show!

I haven’t seen this band live. I would love to though. I was utterly transfixed with the AGT audition. I must have seen the footage dozens of times. I have only one complaint about his live performance on that show. the agt cameras should have kept the attention focused solely on him through every nuance of his performance. I couldn’t look away. There’s something really special about him. That agt audience could feel it too. I read that he left the show because he wanted to maintain his authenticity. I love that! He was so raw and honest on stage. It’s the passion of his performance, more than anything, that captivated everyone. He was real and vulnerable and I would love to see more of him. Come to Atlanta!
