One of the biggest groundswell stories in Canadian music
City and Colour, the moniker of singer-songwriter Dallas Green, is undeniably one of the biggest groundswell stories in Canadian music.
With 3 JUNOs under his belt -- including two SONGWRITER OF THE YEAR awards (2009, 2012), and 3 Platinum-selling albums, Green’s latest and 4th studio album The Hurry and The Harm debuted at #1 on the Top 200 SoundScan Chart in Canada last month. It is City and Colour’s best debut in Canada to date, outselling Little Hell, which also debuted at #1. The Hurry and The Harm made serious waves internationally as well, debuting at a career high #16 in the U.S., #4 in Australia, #32 in the UK, and #83 in Germany
City and Colour's last Canadian tour sold out in minutes, and came on the heels of an international run with sold-out shows across the US, UK and Europe including arena dates opening for P!NK in the U.S. and Biffy Clyro in the UK.
Green’s new touring band including Jack Lawrence (The Raconteurs, Dead Weather) on bass, Dante Schwebel (Hacienda, Dan Auerbach) on guitar, Doug MacGregor (Constantines) on drums and Matt Kelly on pedal steel guitar and keys.
Canadian songwriter Hannah Georgas has the same homeland as Dallas Green of City And Colour. Over recent years, just like Green, she has received countless nominations for a Juno Award (the Canadian equivalent the Grammys). She must be doing something right then... Over the water, here in our country, ‘ginger Georgas’ is still relatively unknown but that will hopefully change after her warm-up round for City And Colour.
