City and Colour’s acoustic, folksy sound will reverberate in the halls of the Ryman September 29. City and Colour, the recording guise of Canadian singer-songwriter Dallas Green, has released three albums and opened for acts such as P!nk. Inspiration for the City and Colour alias came from Green’s own name: his first name – Dallas – is a city, while his last name – Green – is a color. Green has been awarded three Juno Awards in his native Canada. Singles include “Comin’ Home” and “Fragile Bird.”
The tour is in celebration of City and Colour’s highly anticipated new album, The Hurry and The Harm, out June 4 on Dine Alone Records. As a special thank you to the band’s loyal live following, all tickets come with a digital download of the new album, The Hurry and The Harm. upon release date. Ticket purchasers will also receive an immediate digital download of the unreleased, exclusive track “Northern Wind (Live from Molson Canadian Amphitheatre – Sept 2012).”
