City and Colour is the stage name of Canadian singer-songwriter Dallas Green, who launched his solo project in 2005. The name City and Colour is a nod to his own: "City" for Dallas, a major city in Texas, and "Colour" for Green, reflecting a beautifully simple yet deeply personal touch that is emblematic of his music. Initially gaining fame as a guitarist and vocalist for the post-hardcore band Alexisonfire, Dallas Green's venture into a more melodic, folk-driven territory with City and Colour has earned him critical acclaim and a dedicated global fanbase. His music delicately balances themes of love, loss, and existential musings, carried by his hauntingly tender vocals and intricate guitar work.

Over the years, City and Colour has released several albums that have charted a trajectory of evolving sound and deepening lyrical introspection. From the album "Sometimes" (2005), which introduced City and Colour's poignant, acoustic-based sound, to more robust and sonically expansive works like "A Pill for Loneliness" (2019), Green has consistently explored and expressed the complexities of human emotion and the search for meaning. Live performances, such as those captured in "Guide Me Back Home" (Live), showcase the raw emotion and intimacy that define City and Colour's connection with audiences. Tracks like "The Love Still Held Me Near" and "Underground" continue to reflect Green's ability to blend melancholy and hope within his distinctive melodic sensibility. Through City and Colour, Dallas Green has established himself as a profound voice in contemporary folk and indie music, continually resonating with listeners around the world.
