City and Colour

City and Colour is an act on the Starverb influence map. Their sound grew out of Neil Young, Daniel Romano, Alice in Chains, Low and Son House. Those roots explain a lot about how City and Colour arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Copeland, Iron & Wine, José González, Ray LaMontagne and Arkells, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Half Moon Run, Every Time I Die, Fucked Up, Tegan and Sara and Lissie, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 42 connections around City and Colour, reaching back through Neil Young and forward to Half Moon Run. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.

Background

Dallas Michael John Albert Green is a Canadian musician, singer, songwriter and record producer who records under the name City and Colour. He is also known for his contributions as a singer, rhythm guitarist, songwriter, and co-founder of the post-hardcore band Alexisonfire. In 2005, he debuted his first full-length album, Sometimes, which achieved platinum certification in 2006. City and Colour began performing in small intimate venues between Alexisonfire tours. The name City and Colour comes from his own name: Dallas, a city, and Green, a colour. His reasoning for the name was that he felt uneasy "putting the album out under the name Dallas Green".
