City and Colour are headed to Bogart's on Monday, November 11th!
Over the course of six studio albums, Dallas Green has compiled a catalog ripe with songs born of adoration and devotion, amassing a legion of fans worldwide and garnering him three JUNOs, including two Songwriter of the Year awards, plus a Triple Platinum, two Double Platinum, a Platinum, and a Gold certification at home in Canada. Alongside these accomplishments, Green has been awarded Platinum certification for all four of Alexisonfire’s full-length records.
City and Colour’s 2024 Canadian arena tour was a massive success with multiple sold-out shows throughout the country. Green had always been an introspective, solitary writer, demoing songs in his basement, working up every instrumental part by himself. But he considers If I Should Go Before You to be a band record, where the input of these trusted comrades was of the utmost importance. Even more pivotal was trying to capture the essence of their live show symbiosis in the studio; which comes through with an undeniable force. For a project that was very much about the inner world of Green, these relationships have morphed City and Colour into something with more emotive power than ever before: the layers go beyond just music and lyrics, into the people creating the songs themselves.
"Anybody who has seen us play will understand that this is the best representation of what we do live that we have ever recorded," says Green. "I was so excited about being able to make and record an album with these guys that it just flowed. I felt so confident about their abilities to make all of my ideas come true."
