I hate to tell you about a sold-out show if you didn't snatch a ticket, but tonight's House of Blues show with City and Colour is certainly the hot ticket tonight. Hailing from Canada, City and Colour is the moniker for musician Dallas Green, who is finally hitting his stride in the U.S. after two previously well-received efforts in Canada. The current album, Little Hells, was recorded in an old church onto tape, so the sound is warm and fuzzy. Whether that can translate to the House of Blues stage remains to be seen, but a sold-out crowd will be there to judge for itself. Get there early to catch openers Hacienda.
