City & Colour will be in the UK for a special show this month, celebrating 20 years of Sometimes.
Dallas Green will be playing the double platinum-selling album in full at the show!
“When we released Sometimes 20 years ago, I could never have imagined the journey it would take me on,” reflects Green.
“But more importantly, how deeply the songs would resonate with so many people. This night is a celebration of that connection and for everyone who has spent time with this record over the years. These songs became yours a long time ago. As always, thank you for listening.”
