City And Colour, Dallas Green's recording alias, is a far cry from previous hardcore band Alexisonfire. Starting out as an online side project, Dallas eventually rewrote a lot of these songs to make up his debut album Sometimes which was first released in 2005. With two more albums under the Canadian's belt - Bring Me Your Love and Little Hell - as well as the re-release of Sometimes in 2009, a fourth album - The Hurry And The Harm - is set to grace our ears in June of this year.
The music itself is beautifully acoustic, folksy and melancholic in a way that everyone would be able to relate to, but never is it repetitive as Dallas oozes songwriting talent and is unafraid of experimenting with instruments including harmonica and banjo that compliment his soft vocals.
City And Colour has supported many other artists over the years - Tegan And Sara, Pink and more recently Biffy Clyro - as well as headlining tours with the likes of Lissie in support and in the process acquired a strong fan base and several awards like the Juno Songwriter of the Year.
