City and Colour

Overview

City and Colour, the moniker of Canadian singer-songwriter Dallas Green, will return to New Zealand this December for two shows, including Auckland’s The Civic Theatre on Monday 16 December and Wellington’s St James Theatre on Wednesday 18 December.

Green initially satisfied his musical itch performing as the guitarist and vocalist with post-hardcore band Alexisonfire. He began releasing solo material in 2005 and released his first album, Sometimes. The name is a clever word play on his own name Dallas = City and Green = Colour.

Over the two shows Green will be joined by a backing band including Jack Lawrence (The Raconteurs, The Dead Weather), Dante Schwebel (Hacienda, Dan Auerbach), Doug McGregor (The Constantines) and Matt Kelly.

Support from Melbourne indie-folk band Husky.
