'''Dallas Green''' is one of the [[guitarist]]s and [[singer|vocalists]] in the [[Canada|Canadian]] [[post-hardcore]] [[Band (music)|band]] [[Alexisonfire]]. He is highly praised by critics for his piercing vocals and melodic voice, present in nearly all of Alexisonfire's songs.
 
'''Dallas Michael John Albert Green''' (born September 29, 1980) 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.<ref name="dg-maple-bio">{{cite web|url=http://www.maplemusic.com/artists/cac/bio.asp|title=City and Colour Biography|publisher=MapleMusic|access-date=December 3, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160225021900/http://www.maplemusic.com/artists/cac/bio.asp|archive-date=February 25, 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref> 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".<ref name="Interview">{{cite web |url=http://www.muchmusic.com/insidemuch/stuff/dallas_green_mellows_out_with_city_and_colour.asp |title=Dallas Green mellows out with City and Colour |publisher=Muchmusic.com |access-date=March 2, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090830051919/http://www.muchmusic.com/insidemuch/stuff/dallas_green_mellows_out_with_city_and_colour.asp |archive-date=August 30, 2009 }}</ref>
One of his most striking features, besides his voice, is the number of [[tattoo]]s that adorn his body. He has full arm sleeves as well as tattoos on his torso and back.
 
==Early life==
In addition to his work with Alexisonfire, Green also has a solo project named [[City and Colour]], which revolves around songs of an [[Steel-string acoustic guitar|acoustic]] variety.
Green was born on September 29, 1980, in [[St. Catharines]], [[Ontario]].<ref name=BMIDATA>{{cite web|url=http://repertoire.bmi.com/writer.asp?blnWriter=True&blnPublisher=True&blnArtist=True&page=1&fromrow=1&torow=25&querytype=WriterID&keyid=1023529&keyname=GREEN+DALLAS+JOHN&CAE=431139491&Affiliation=SOCAN |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160111194801/http://repertoire.bmi.com/writer.asp?blnWriter=True&blnPublisher=True&blnArtist=True&page=1&fromrow=1&torow=25&querytype=WriterID&keyid=1023529&keyname=GREEN+DALLAS+JOHN&CAE=431139491&Affiliation=SOCAN |url-status=dead |archive-date=January 11, 2016 |title=Songwriter/Composer: GREEN DALLAS JOHN |last=Green |first=Dallas John |publisher=[[Broadcast Music, Inc.]] (BMI) |access-date=October 12, 2015 }}</ref> Green was named after [[Philadelphia Phillies]] manager [[Dallas Green (baseball)|Dallas Green]].

He bought it on his 12th birthday, on September 29, 1992. Green said that if people want to get to the bottom of why he makes music the way that he does, it is because of Alice in Chains.<ref name="ig"/>

(Alexisonfire album)|Watch Out!]]'', ''[[Crisis (Alexisonfire album)|Crisis]]'', and ''[[Old Crows / Young Cardinals]]'') and two EPs before disbanding in 2011 due to Dallas' decision to focus on his work in City and Colour full-time.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.spinner.com/2011/08/08/dallas-green-alexisonfire-split/ |title=Dallas Green Says Alexisonfire Was 'Killing' Him, Is Fine Being 'The Villain' After Split |publisher=Spinner.com |access-date=November 7, 2011 |archive-date=June 2, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120602012902/http://www.spinner.com/2011/08/08/dallas-green-alexisonfire-split/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>
 
Dallas came up with the name of the band from an episode on Discovery Channel. This specific episode was about contortionism. In this show there was a segment on a stripper who added contortionism into her show, as well as lactating and breathing fire. The woman's stage name was Alexis Fire, and the segment was called Alexisonfire. He thought that this would be a cool name for a band, and that is where it all started.<ref name="dg-interview-2009">{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDFNMxz4fMM |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211221/XDFNMxz4fMM |archive-date=2021-12-21 |url-status=live|title=Alexisonfire (Dallas Green) Interview |publisher=[[YouTube]]|date=August 11, 2009|access-date=December 3, 2014}}{{cbignore}}</ref>

====''Sometimes'' (2005–2007)====
[[File:DallasGreenEdge2005.JPG|right|thumb|250px|Green performing at Edge102.1 Radio Studios in July 2005]] Green began releasing City and Colour songs on the [[internet]] for fans to download.

The full-length debut was released on November 1, 2005, to a good reception, described by one reviewer as "dynamically gentle and vulnerable".<ref>{{cite web|author=(5 votes, average: 4.20 out of 5) |url=http://www.music-critic.ca/wp/2005/city-and-colour-sometimes/ |title=City and Colour - Sometimes |publisher=Music-critic.ca |date=November 1, 2005 |access-date=March 2, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110706190627/http://www.music-critic.ca/wp/2005/city-and-colour-sometimes/ |archive-date=July 6, 2011 }}</ref> The cover art was designed by Scott McEwan, in a tattoo-esque style; Green "still may decide to have some of them inked at a later point in time".<ref name="Walrus">{{cite web |author=Diana Outos |url=http://www.yorku.ca/walrus/06-03/feature2.php |title=Dallas Green: An Introspective Look |website=Yorku.ca |access-date=March 2, 2011 |archive-date=May 17, 2006 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060517041108/http://www.yorku.ca/walrus/06-03/feature2.php |url-status=dead }}</ref>
 
Green indicated that his view that the "best music for [him] is sad music", influenced the type of songs he created. He stated he helped Kelsey Brown with the playing of guitar. He also said that he "love[s] music to sort of escape to" and the idea of sad music that people could identify with. Green said of the album that, "a lot of those songs are written on some of the experiences I've been through and stuff and that's just how I deal with it. I just write songs when I'm bummed out and I feel happier."<ref name="Walrus"/> ''Sometimes'' won the 2007 [[Juno Awards|Juno award]] for [[Juno Award for Alternative Album of the Year|Alternative Album of the Year]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Inside the Career of Alexisonfire, Canada's Greatest, Least Likely Success Story |url=http://exclaim.ca/music/article/inside_the_career_of_alexisonfire_canadas_greatest_least_likely_success_story |website=Exclaim.ca |access-date=June 13, 2019 |date=April 22, 2019}}</ref>
