City and Colour



Hailing from St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada, Dallas Green has established himself in the music scene through his past band, Alexisonfire, which has been nominated for various awards. While part of that band, he began his solo side-project, City and Colour, for which he is the vocalist, guitarist, and main songwriter. His style is a mixture of acoustic folk music, and alternative rock. His lyrics and emotion behind his composing is what draws me towards liking his music. He has a very accessible sound, to which I think many people would enjoy, no matter what age. This has been shown by his multiple music awards, which he has won in various categories. The topics of his songs stretch further than just the typical ballad style, many of which have impacted me in some way. I share his music in hopes that he may have the same effect on others.
