Editor's note

Dallas Green, the quiet voice behind City and Colour

A Canadian musician who built a solo acoustic world alongside his emo band roots.

If you want to hear what he does, start with 'The Death Of Me' or 'Hello, I'm In Delaware.' They're good examples of how he writes.

Green's City and Colour songs like 'The Death Of Me' and 'Love Don't Live Here Anymore' turn personal reflection into something you can hold. They're quieter than his work with Alexisonfire, but they've lasted just as long. That 2005 album 'Sometimes' started a whole separate career that's still going.

He was playing in Alexisonfire around 2005 when he put out the first City and Colour album. The solo project became his main outlet, with albums like 'Bring Me Your Love' and 'Little Hell' following. He's kept recording as City and Colour ever since, even after a Crohn's disease diagnosis in 2009 slowed his touring.

Archive material and source history

Dallas Green is a Canadian musician who first gained attention with the emo band Alexisonfire around 2005. Around that same time, he started releasing solo material under the name City and Colour, beginning with the album 'Sometimes' in 2005. The project became his main creative outlet, letting him work with quieter, more acoustic arrangements than his band's sound.

His songs as City and Colour, like 'Love Don't Live Here Anymore' and 'The Death Of Me,' often center on personal reflection. He's released several albums under that name, including 'Bring Me Your Love' in 2008 and 'Little Hell' in 2011. In 2009, he was diagnosed with Crohn's disease, which affected his ability to tour for a period.

Green has occasionally collaborated with other artists, including Pink and Gord Downie. He continues to perform and record as City and Colour, with a band that has included musicians like Scott Munro and Daniel Pashko.
