City and Colour

Dallas Green is City and Colour. This Canadian folk-singer hails from St. Catharines, Ontario but plays a rather American brand of music. His songs are chalked full of the sounds of Americana, American Folk, even country. Dallas combines these styles to create his own brand of folk that has skyrocketed him into the charts, even sending his first full length album Sometimes well past the threshold of a gold standing. Mr. Green has a quite tortured arsenal hidden within his pen, writing songs about funerals ("Body in a Box"), God ("I Don't Need to Know", "Faithless", and "Confessions"), and many other subjects one thinks about when spending a late night alone and awake. When this lyrical matter is coupled with folk-country lead guitar and the soulful voice of a man that feels every word, something truly amazing is created. On his most recent album Bring Me Your Love, Dallas employs friends to play mandolin, lap steel, organ, keys and even floor stomping to create a final product that is sure to make you feel something.
