In the brief period of time since Port Cities unleashed their 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. It’s helped lead the band to numerous accolades, including a whopping five Nova Scotia Music Awards, a SOCAN #1 Award (for Back to the Bottom), and stints at #1 on CBC and Spotify charts. Port Cities has amassed over 2.3 million streams internationally, showcased at The Great Escape, Focus Wales, Reeperbahn Festival, and has toured in the UK and Germany.
