When we released Sometimes 20 years ago, I could never have imagined the journey it would take me on,” reflects Green. “But more importantly, how deeply the songs would resonate with so many people. This night is a celebration of that connection and for everyone who has spent time with this record over the years. These songs became yours a long time ago. As always, thank you for listening.” City and Colour was born in 2005 when Green dropped a limited-edition acoustic EP. The raw, heartfelt tracks ignited a buzz online, with fans worldwide flooding Alexisonfire’s website, trying to get their hands on a copy. In 2005, Green officially debuted Sometimes under the moniker City and Colour which also marked the start of Dine Alone Records. The album surpassed expectations and was a critical and commercial success, winning a JUNO for Alternative Album of the Year and solidifying City and Colour’s place on the Canadian musical landscape. Over the course of seven studio albums, Green has been awarded five JUNOs, including two Songwriter of the Year awards, and multiple Platinum certifications. His versatile and immense talent has led him to share stages around the world with some of the biggest names in music, including P!nk, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Coldplay, Neil Young, and more. City and Colour’s most recent album, The Love Still Held Me Near, achieved chart-topping success and spawned the #1 hit “Underground.” His previous albums, A Pill for Loneliness and If I Should Go Before You, both debuted at #1 in Canada, with Little Hell achieving Gold status in Australia. As a member of Alexisonfire, Green has four Platinum-certified albums. He also collaborated with Alecia Moore (P!nk) on rose ave., a Platinum-certified album that topped charts in Canada and Australia, with memorable performances on The Ellen Show and Jimmy Kimmel Live. |
