According to his between-song chatter, Dallas Green (aka City and Colour) has trouble convincing American bands that it’s worth the border hassles to play in Canada. But after the warm welcome Canada has given his month-long, cross-country tour with Nathaniel Rateliff and the Nightsweats, I imagine that at least that one American band will be happy to return.

City and Colour Announces A Return To The Stage
City and Colour, acclaimed singer, songwriter and performer Dallas Green, has announced his return to the stage for the first time since February 2020, after an unprecedented year that profoundly affected people worldwide and brought live entertainment as we knew it to a halt. Green will perform two intimate, solo live concerts December 9 and 10 at Massey Hall, upon its reopening after the venue’s most significant renovation in its 127-year history.
City and Colour Untethers Heavy Mellow Soundscapes
Sometimes you need squealing solos, mosh pits and eyebrow scorching pyro. I mean, hey, who doesn’t a bit of that stirred into their Monday night, amiright? But sometimes, yeah sometimes, your chainsaw mangled, steamroller backed over heart just needs the mellow mood vibes provided by Dallas Green’s usual melancholy City and Colour. Tunes with names like “Difficult Love”, “Lover Come Back” and “We found Each Other in the Dark”…oh yeah, that’s the sentimental sombre saccharine my stung sorrow-filled soul yearned for. (It also, apparently, requires a shitload of alliteration!)

Alice in Chains bring their Rainer Fog tour to Hamilton
On the 10th stop of their tour promoting their new album, Rainier Fog, Alice In Chains showcased a great cross section of their body of work, playing more from their sophomore album Dirt than from the most recent. Still, some of the highlights of the show were the four selections from recently released Rainier Fog – “Never Fade”, the title track “Rainier Fog”, “Red Giant”, and then “The One You Know” as an encore number. Ultimately cuts from all six studio albums were included in the set, plus a couple from their MTV Unplugged session and Jar of Flies EP, so long-time followers will be very happy with the deep and broad set list.
