Dallas Green’s City and Colour is back on the road in September through December and one dollar from every ticket sold will go to Indspire, a national Indigenous charity that invests in the education of First Nations, Inuit and Métis people.

The chartitable donation is through Plus 1, founded by former Arcade Fire member Marika Anthony-Shaw, which works with touring artists to select a charity to which one dollar from every concert ticket sold goes.

According to the City and Colour press release, to date, Green has donated over $80,000, to Indspire’s Building Brighter Futures Scholarship program through the City and Colour Indigenous Student Bursary and the Alexisonfire Indigenous Music Bursary, which were established in 2019 with the goal of supporting students as they complete their education and achieve academic success.

City and Colour’s tour begins Sept. 7 in Dallas, and includes five shows at the venerable Massey Hall in Toronto which is reopening after extensive renovations.

Over the course of six studio albums, Green has won 3 Juno Awards, and earned one triple-platinum, two double-platinum, one platinum, and one gold certification in Canada. His other band, Alexisonfire, has received four platinum certifications for their four albums. His last City and Colour album was 2019’s A Pill For Loneliness.
