Having dual personalities worked for Clark Kent and Peter Parker, but is going from being a loud punk rock musician to playing soft acoustic ballads any more likely than shooting spiderwebs out of your wrists?

Not for JUNO performer and nominee Dallas Green.

This 28-year-old rocker has proven that it is in fact possible to move from the post-hardcore punk sound of Canadian band Alexisonfire to the delicately wrought, folk-inspired tunes of City and Colour and be hugely successful.

Not only is City and Colour performing at the 2009 JUNOS, Green has been nominated for both Artist of the Year and Songwriter of the Year.

"It's an honour and my parents are excited," he laughs.

This isn't Green's first JUNO nod either. He is a veritable Junos veteran, having won the 2007 Alternative Album of the Year for his first City and Colour album "Sometimes."

With Alexisonfire, he won 2007 Group of the Year, as well as the 2005 Best New Group award.

Green's excited about the exposure his nomination and JUNO performance might garner. Though he is grateful, he notes he marks his success by having excited audiences at his shows: "That's the amazing part, having people there, watching me play."

From guitar lessons to Alexisonfire to City and Colour

Born and raised in St. Catherines, Ont., Green started playing guitar as a kid. "My parents got me lessons and I hated it. I was eight, going on nine and just wanted to skateboard and play in the dirt, but they made me stay in it for a couple years," he says.

But after he stopped taking lessons, he began teaching himself.

"I've never been able to read music well and I still can't now because I've forgotten everything from those first few years," he admits.

After playing steadily for years, Green teamed up with fellow St. Catharine's musicians and formed the post-hardcore band Alexisonfire.

After releasing their first album, "A Dagger Through the Heart of St. Angeles" in 2001, the band proceeded to release two additional albums and are currently recording their "Old Crows, Young Cardinal."

Between writing new material, touring and recording with Alexisonfire, it seems unlikely that Green would have time to create more music, but between tours, he collected songs he had been writing over the years and quietly released "Sometimes," his first solo album.

Instead of the loud raucous shows Alexisonfire is known for, when Green began touring with City and Colour, he sought out smaller, more intimate venues. The success of his solo project grew and Green played to sold out shows across Canada and in the U.K.

In 2006, "Sometimes" achieved Platinum certification and after performing at the 2006 MuchMusic Video Awards, City and Colour won the People's Choice Favourite Canadian Artist award.

In 2008, Green released "Bring Me Your Love," an emotionally dynamic, folk-influenced album that was created with vintage instruments and recorded live off the floor.

Green's juggling act

The differences between Green's two projects are staggering. "An Alexisonfire show is a sweaty, screamy, energetic crazy experience. It's all of us running around trying to get the crowd as excited as we can and create this huge moment of energy," Green says.

This is a huge contrast to his more intimate, low-key City and Colour live shows. "It's just this hour and a half long hang out with the audience, me telling jokes and long stories that don't really go anywhere. It's a lot more relaxed," he explains.

Even the song writing process is like night and day. Where Green's work with Alexisonfire is very collaborative, with each of the band members co-writing each and every song, songwriting for City and Colour is much more reflective and solitary.

"I only have myself to look to," he says. "But I always think I can write better songs and do more."

"I'm pretty much constantly feeling like I'm not all that good at what I do, and I think that that's my way of evolving is never being satisfied and always being down on myself," Green admits.

Juggling the two successful projects might seem like it would take superhuman abilities, but Green shrugs it off. "It's just such a highlight, being able to continue two simultaneous projects with people liking both of them," he says.

A typical Saturday night

Though Green loves performing and touring, he admits he loves spending time at home with his new wife, MuchMusic VJ and "So You Think You Can Dance Canada" host, Leah Miller.

"We just hang out a lot and spend a lot of time sitting on the couch, watching our shows," he says.

In fact, last Saturday night, Green admits, they both fell asleep on the couch at 7 o' clock. "I woke up after an hour, but Leah slept for about three hours. She's a really good napper," he says.

"When she woke up at 11, I said, 'I'm bored hun, let's go to the Shopper's Drug Mart and read magazines.' So that was our Saturday night."

"Oh, and we bought some snacks."
