Citizen Way
American Christian music group
Citizen Way is an American contemporary Christian music and Christian worship band from Elgin, Illinois.
Background
The band originally formed in 2004 when Ben Calhoun and Ben Blascoe met one another at Judson University. "As a freshman, Ben Blascoe was playing his bass in the dorm one day when the Ben Calhoun poked his head in. There was a connection and so when Ben Calhoun was ready to record some songs he had composed, he asked the other Ben to join him in the studio. He also recruited his brother Josh, on drums then, who had been playing with Augustana (band) while in college. After the project was completed, the trio continued to play together."
The band originally went by "The Least of These". In 2004, they released their self titled debut album. On August 11, 2009, They released their second album, also self titled. The album was produced by Joel Hanson, member of Christian rock band PFR (band). The tenth track on the album titled "No Matter What" was inspired by PFR's song "Fight" on the album "Them" released in 1996.

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 14, 2026.

The first chronological checks are 2004, 2009 and 1996.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
