The album, Green’s sixth as City and Colour, features 20 tracks from his discography recorded with nought but an acoustic guitar and, on occasion, the keys at various live performances across the country, including Friends recorded live in Surrey on April 7.

Green, an Ontario product who rose to acclaim as a singer and guitarist of St. Catherine’s five-piece post-hardcore band Alexisonfire, is donating $1 from the sale of each copy of Guide Me Back Home to MusiCounts – a program that helps kids access instruments and gain an education in music.

Guide Me Back Home is available for streaming on Spotify and Apple Music. Vinyl and CD presales are available through cityandcolour.store-08.com.
