The crowd fills the stands at the Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre, patiently awaiting the night91裸聊视频檚 entertainment.

Lights brighten the stage, and the crowd erupts into uproarious applause as City and Colour, Dallas Green, appears and makes his away across the stage. He immediately picks up his acoustic, and the crowd goes wild as Green begins strumming to the beat of Little Hell.

Dallas Green, also known as City and Colour, played a sold-out, 19 song acoustic set at the Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre April 13. It was Green91裸聊视频檚 first time performing in Vernon.

The lights dim as Little Hell ends. Seconds later, the lights come back on and Green plays an acoustic rendition of Fragile Bird before weaving seamlessly into Friends.

Finally, Green pauses between songs.

91裸聊视频淭hank you for doing this Dallas,91裸聊视频� yells someone in the audience.

91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檓 not going to lie,91裸聊视频� says Green. 91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檓 doing it for myself. I91裸聊视频檓 just glad you guys are enjoying it.91裸聊视频�

Green utilizes his older material, playing only a handful of songs from City and Colour91裸聊视频檚 most recent release (If I Should Go Before You).

Like Knives ends, and Green invites out his old friend, Kelowna91裸聊视频檚 Matt Kelly.

As the duo serenades the audience, eight orange orbs ignite at the back of the stage. After they jam out a few more tunes, Christmas lights are flicked on at their feet, creating the illusion of candles surrounding the musicians as they play an intimate show.

Kelly plays eight tracks with Green up until Lover Come Back.

91裸聊视频淧lay some Alexisonfire,91裸聊视频� shouts a man in the back of the auditorium. It was his first interruption of the night.

91裸聊视频淲oah, bud. Calm down,91裸聊视频� says Green.

91裸聊视频�As Much As I Ever Could,91裸聊视频� yells another.

91裸聊视频淐ool your jets,91裸聊视频� says Green.

He finishes his 15th song of the night, As Much As I Ever Could, before standing up and exiting stage right.

The crowd is animated as they cheer and whistle in hopes of bringing City and Colour back for more.

A roadie walks on stage, carrying the guitar he had just taken off stage. The crowd is louder than ever as Green walks back to his chair and picks up the guitar.

91裸聊视频�10 more songs,91裸聊视频� booms the crowd.

91裸聊视频淲ell, maybe not that many,91裸聊视频� laughs Green.

Green plays Coming Home for his 16th song, and transitions into Alexisonfire91裸聊视频檚 This Could Be Anywhere In The World, seemingly to please the man at the back.

Green pulls out a harmonica.

91裸聊视频淯sually when I write songs I91裸聊视频檓 pretty selfish,91裸聊视频� says Green. 91裸聊视频淏ut this song I wrote attempting to help people. If you91裸聊视频檙e picking up what I91裸聊视频檓 putting down, this one91裸聊视频檚 for you.91裸聊视频�

As Against The Grain ends, Green calls Kelly back on stage.

91裸聊视频淗ow have you been?91裸聊视频� Green asks.

91裸聊视频淕辞辞诲.91裸聊视频�

91裸聊视频淣ot much has changed.91裸聊视频�

The duo powers through The Girl, and the crowd loves it.

91裸聊视频淟ast song. If you know it, sing it with us.91裸聊视频�

The crowd, Green, and Kelly belt City and Colour91裸聊视频檚 Sleeping Sickness.

Green waves to the audience as the lights come on and he walks off the stage to a standing ovation.

91裸聊视频淭hank you very much, everybody, for coming to the first City and Colour tour in Vernon.91裸聊视频�
