Promoting his new album, Dallas Green stopped by Boston to put on a truly memorable show at Roadrunner on Wednesday night. Opening up was Courtney Marie Andrews, a singer-songwriter from Arizona. Her beautiful, ethereal performance was the perfect way to ease into the headlining set. 

First, let’s get one thing straight: this was not an Alexisonfire show. It seems a few people in the crowd forgot that they were actually seeing City & Colour. It became a reoccurring joke during the set due to hecklers shouting out song titles from Dallas Green’s other, much louder band. At one point, Dallas said that he hoped other songs from the extensive City & Colour discography sufficed and apologized if he missed any favorites. With that said, Green took the audience through each of his albums with his performance, from the newest album The Love Still Held Me Near to his raw 2005 debut release Sometimes. The newest album is full of what makes the band so great: emotional lyrics and catchy choruses. Many of the songs featured of the album were performed, including the title track “Meant to Be” and the single “Underground”. To the delight of longtime fans and apparently by request, Green came out during the encore with just an acoustic guitar and played “Body in a Box” with help from the crowd. He was then joined by the full band to perform a handful of favorites from earlier albums. Boston may be known to City & Colour as that one place where people scream at the stage, but they still treated the city to a fantastic show.
