Toronto 
City and Colour, acclaimed singer, songwriter and performer Dallas Green, debuted a new song, Astronaut, and announced North American tour today.
Produced by three-time Grammy-winning Jacquire King (Kings Of Leon, Tom Waits, Modest Mouse, Norah Jones) and mastered by Emily Lazar (Beck, Coldplay, Dolly Parton, The Chainsmokers), the first female mastering engineer to win a Grammy for best engineered album (2019). Astronaut is the first original music from City and Colour in almost four years and is featured on his upcoming 6th studio album to be released this fall on Green’s newly minted Still Records, an imprint of Dine Alone Records.
“I always think of the relationships in my life that have been fractured because I ended up doing what I do for a living,” says Green regarding the inspiration for the new song. “I’m always gone, wandering around and singing songs. However, it weighs on my family and friends. I’m asking for ‘one more year’. I left home at 21 to go play my guitar. It’s lonely, but it’s because I yearn to wander. I’m aware of how lucky I am.”
A Canadian arena tour kicks off in Victoria, B.C. on Friday, Nov. 8 and ends on the opposite coast in Halifax on Friday, Nov. 29.
City and Colour is undeniably one of the biggest groundswell stories to emerge from Canada. Over the course of five studio albums, Green has compiled a canon 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 three double platinum, one platinum, and one gold certification at home in Canada. Alongside these accomplishments, Green has been awarded four platinum-certified studio albums as a member of Alexisonfire. City and Colour’s last studio album If I Should Go Before You debuted at No.1, his third consecutive chart-topper in Canada. The LP also made serious waves internationally debuting at No.16 on the U.S. Billboard 200 Chart and No. 5 in Australia where Green’s LP Little Hell was certified gold. In 2014, Green collaborated with international superstar Alecia Moore (aka P!nk) on a new project titled You+Me. The duo’s acclaimed platinum-certified first record, rose ave., debuted at No. 4 on the U.S. Top 200 Chart, No. 1 in Canada and No. 2 in Australia, culminating in memorable performances on The Ellen Show and Jimmy Kimmel Live! In addition to widespread commercial success, If I Should Go Before You received critical acclaim from notable international media.
