Port Cities

• Pop
• Singer/Songwriter

In the brief period of time since Port Cities unleashed their award-winning incendiary debut—a wildly self-assured collection of sparkling, rootsy pop that showcases the Nova Scotia trio’s devotion to songwriting—the band’s been hard at work bringing it to the masses. They’ve continued to explore and evolve their ambitious pop sound, melding diverse musical backgrounds to create an alchemy that’s part art, part songwriting science, and all magic: the nimble dynamism of Breagh MacKinnon’s smoky, jazz-indebted delivery, Dylan Guthro’s simmering and soulful R&B swagger, and Carleton Stone’s razor-sharp, romantic rock ‘n’ roll.   It’s a chemistry that’s been perfected during the 100+ dates they’ve toured in the past year in Canada, the UK and Germany that is reflected in their newest release, Montreal.
