Biography

The nature of a seaport is one of constant transformation, as an influx of influences from all over the map congregate at a point of connection. For Halifax-based songwriter/producers, Dylan Guthro and Carleton Stone, that meeting place is their sleek and soulful pop outfit, Port Cities. Collaborating together, and with other artists, the two have been dizzyingly busy over the last year writing and producing a myriad of projects and releasing their own single “I Still See You At Parties”, a bubbly jam with earthy acoustic touches that features the stellar vocals of co-writer, Emma-Lee. Both head to Nashville this year– Guthro to launch his new publishing deal and Stone to produce a record for Willie Stratton and to finish his next solo record. With a history that’s been marked by numerous awards, #1 spots on the CBC and Spotify charts, and garnered over 10 million streams, the future will see them further hone their craft through creative experimentation in their own partnership and with others. The band's latest single, "Parachute," builds on a breakneck, kaleidoscopic '80s synth-pop vibe into a joyous celebration of life. Bright, booming piano and the rhythmic strums of acoustic guitar nod to Port Cities' folk roots while Stone invokes skydives through lyrics that remind listeners to live each day as though it might be their last. As he sings in the first verse: "Go on, make your mama proud; shot in the dark, got nothing to lose." None of us get out alive, after all.
