City and Colour - "Fragile Bird" (Acoustic) - The Hay Bale Sessions @ Bonnaroo 2012 | Bonnaroo365

Got questions for City and Colour? Post in comments section below by 8/11 and we'll get some answers at Outside Lands.
Tucked away backstage at Bonnaroo, buried beneath a stack of hay bales, is a room where artists duck out of the weekend's madness to play stripped-down versions of their songs. The Hay Bale Sessions will lead you through a secret doorway where you can join artists to watch these pure and intimate performances.

Dan Cooper you beat me to it. We love you so much in the UK Dallas. Please come back as soon as you can!!

[@Dunning.Kruger]

Yes! He's gotten me through some really Fu*ked up times. Legit statement.

[@mega0mandar]

I can honestly say that your music has saved my life as well as many others, and you have been a positive influence on my life. So my question is, how does it feel to know that your music has positively influenced so many people? Thank you. -Mandy

[@joshuaatkinss]

Why are you so talented? Literally sends chills down my spine

[@KMIKULIN78]

I adore this piece…I can’t wait to see you Nov2013 in Detroit, MI

[@MegaAudrey777]

gosh,love his voice

[@TJDenmead]

Flawless

[@kalyred]

Grande Prairie Alberta would love a show! Many thanks.

[@usualnoiserecords]

You sir, deserve a medal...

[@TheComedycatz]

Do you think Bon Iver eats my cookies? "What the fuck does that mean?" Hahaha love you Dallas

[@narniafreak2343]

so many of my friends are so touched by your music, what inspires you the most in writing your albums ?

[@omgpaulthompson]

My exact feelings!

[@MacStevenXIII]

Were you genuinely upset that you couldn't have a full band for your set at the Newport Folk Fest? It was an amazing performance by the way. It was the highlight of that day for me.

[@TheBlizzard90210]

yes!

[@mahsahkah]

will you ever record "How Come Your Arms Are Not Around Me" in studio? I know it's a cover but we still love this.

[@Lucaswillboor]

Hiii Dallas, my name is Lucas , i from Brazil and i love your music. You 're The Best! You have plans to visit Brazil??? Milions peoples in Brazil loves you!

[@TheBlizzard90210]

Would you consider doing a solo music tour like when you first started out? I love the band atmosphere but I have seen you once solo a few years ago in Edmonton, then twice, L.A and Edmonton again with the band. The solo stuff blew me away, and we kind of get a sniff of it when you do your solo songs in your current set list, but a full set list of solo stuff would be amazing!

[@neurb]

but he does grand optimist here which is awesome...but i agree fragile bird at guitar centre is epic!

[@MrRuss41]

Dallas, how have you become so comfortable performing music that is written about such personal stuff? There is some vulnerability in putting music out there that is so deep. I have some songs that I have written that I feel like put me in a very open and honest state to people who may listen, kind of like your stuff, and for this reason I have not really pushed my music as much as I would like to. What are your thoughts?

[@RollingStonesXx]

Greg here from St. Catharines. I was wondering a) when are you going to play some shows down here because we all miss you and b) when the next City & Colour album is coming up. Thanks man, you're the greatest.

[@krublz]

When City & Colour will come to Brazil? We are waiting for you guys, patienly.

[@MicahJordanDesign]

Nice, sounds great!!

[@ireneicecreammm]

how does it feel to know that you save peoples lives?

[@Rawrishunicorns]

So good.

[@LuckyKJP]

Since you won't be starting the Alexisonfire farewell tour until December, what are your plans from now until then? Please come to Chicago!

[@Hogeydebig]

Dallas, when ever I visit Toronto and you aren't on tour could we meet up for coffee sometime? I don't really like coffee but it'd be nice to sit down and talk to my hero. You've done so much for me that the least I could do is buy you a cup of joe.

[@HopeKeyes]

Will we have the chance to have a City & Colour show in France soon ?

[@iampoopman]

How do you go from a fast paced, almost metal, band with screaming to a solo acoustic project, and make them both work without losing your artistic integrity? (which is to say I think they're both artistically sound, great projects)

[@dayday4444]

do you enjoy being a household name or would you rather play in really small intimate venus?? by the way you are an inspiration and will always be one of my favourite musicians of all time. thank you for your music

[@PwnAN00b]

alexisonfire farewell tour! ask when we can hear more news about that!

[@kbice8]

what inspires you to write the amazing songs that you do?

[@Sikki66x]

Not exactly related to C&C But when AlexisonFire does the farewell tour starting December 27th, could you guys play every song off the first album......it'd make my life?!

[@siobhancassidy82]

Did you ever have doubt your music would become as successful as it is?

[@juthecult]

If you could chose 1 song/singer that saved your life like you do with so many fans around the world, which one??

[@SuperMassiveAtheist]

Any plans to tour Australia? It's going to be summer here in 3 or 4 months, would love to see you on the Soundwave tour.in March.

[@Hogeydebig]

Hey Dallas, my name is Tyler Moore. I'm from a small town in Ohio, somehow i found your music at the right moment in my life, I was wondering how a fan could by a coffee for you? If i'm ever in Toronto, would it be possible for me to buy a cup of joe. All that you've done for me in the past year, it's the least i could do.

[@alinemoreirac1]

Are you excited about coming to Brazil with AOF in December?

[@Sn3YES]

As a learning guitarist, I wonder: have you ever considered making tutorials on how to play your songs and posting them onto the internet?

[@HYFEEproductions]

as a musician, what are your goals; what do you hope to achieve? where has music lead you, and what's next? -Justin

[@hamred15]

We will be seeing City and Colour in England/Europe any time soon ?

[@FollowTheGrain]

When is the next album coming? I need more dallas green!!!

[@racheldotdotdot]

Hi, my names Rachel. In your songwriting you reference water a lot. What makes it so enthralling to you? Thanks, love ya!

[@rachelbeech8212]

[@TheComedycatz]

Shannon from Oshawa Ontario.. what was your favourite toy to play with growing up? Or maybe your favourite hobby?

[@natalieann9710]

Hey Dallas! Your music is truly magnetic. In your album Sometimes, in the last song you sing that "i'm so full of endless rhymes, about the way I feel inside." Now that you've been a musician for awhile,and have been touring with 2 bands/constantly doing shows, do the endless rhymes still come to you as frequent? and do you find yourself before using them in a song, that your analyzing, or being more critical of the lines you use now versus back then?

[@z99s10997]

What did you think of George Pettit's long hair?

[@thestrabanepirate]

When you plan to have the new album out? and would you consider having Alecia Moore (Pink) to do guest backing vocals on a track? (What makes a man collaboration was amazing!)

[@RussTheBusker]

Russell Haskins of Vancouver, You've agreed and are preparing for one last tour with Alexisonfire, reports have said that concert goers can expect 20+ songs. Anything different we can expect?

[@JamieXCII]

Mr. Green, did you attend any summer camps as a child and if so, what were your thoughts of them?

[@GoatRooster]

How did you learn to sing so greatly?

[@tmcnwm]

Have you ever played a show where you saw something in the audience that made you take pause... so that you forgot where you were at in the song you were playing? :)

[@scepticismex]

Need to know, really. Are you going to come to South America?

[@zero01123]

Will you ever release tabs and sheet music for your songs? If you ever do, could you include Happiness by the Kilowatt sheet music?

[@AlexPil]

Do you think that part of what powers your incredible voice is summoned somewhere in you're awesome beard?

[@xanthecatherine8410]

What step in your life helped you most to get to the place you are now? I love you lots and lots Dallas!!

[@zero01123]

Will you ever release Roaming through the hills?

[@Bruinsbud]

If you could go back in time and change one thing that you've done in your music career, what would it be? PS, Thanks for putting St. Catharines on the map :)

[@dballard1215]

Have you ever heard Phil Ade's remix to "Coming Home"? If so, what did you think?

[@Woodstring72]

Why don't you come out with a record every month? Because I wish you would.

[@rece1234]

That's real man.

[@gabidrink]

Alexisonfire will play in Brasil, so there's a possibility from a concert of City and Colour?

[@pugucc]

Whereabouts do you shop for clothing? Loving the vibe man

[@scisterna]

I heard 'The Girl' in a great little indie movie called Moon Point. Are you generally receptive to film people asking to use your music in their projects, or do you make them beg and plead?

[@Bearswin8584]

Yeah we have a few dates added I will post them later this afternoon, I have to walk my dog really quick.

[@michaelparaskevas13]

when are you going to come to Tulsa?

[@TheBlueStarsinc]

What's the story behind that vintage Martin you always play? What model? History of it? Ect.

[@urdead4g]

Do you ever lose a good mood from performing sad songs?

[@haleyedmonds6695]

All I have to say is I'm a rap fan but this guy goes hard

[@Miizriah]

When will you be coming back to Texas? :3

[@moniqueislucious]

Dallas, what's your favorite home cooked meal?

[@GYMnastics12334]

how long it is from when you write a song until your willing to play it live at a show?

[@therohaninho]

Was wondering if there is any chance that touring will alexisonfire for one last time will make you want to continue with them, even for only a few more tours? And also if as City and Colour do you plan to come to Scotland anytime soon again as you were fantastic at T in the Park 2011

[@ParsonWilkerson]

Are their some guitars that compliment your style of playing more than others?

[@Lycromisia]

Are you coming to london with the alexisonfire reunion or city and colour soon?

[@gwakogarcia]

Joshua from California, Dallas what musical influences have been affecting your singing as of lately?

[@puggerknot1]

Dallas Green, you're the only thing getting me through right now. I'm a musician as well, and i would love to become half as great as you, any tips on how to broaden my skills on guitar? Did you sit down with a list of chords and tabs or did you simply teach yourself, improving throughout the years?

[@IbanezJames]

If you could re-record one song which would it be? and what would you change?

[@smuffleuppygus]

This is a weird question, but do you ever get notes that are tossed on-stage after your shows? Because I wrote a particular one in 2009 saying you'd saved my life, which your music kind of did. I've always wondered if that's a message you get from a lot of fans or if Hope for Now has anything to do with fans telling you this (because I'm guessing I'm not the only one). -Jessica

[@ethanMwatson]

Dallas, What sparked your interest with Martin Guitars? Ethan

[@CanDooooper]

Will you be adding any UK dates onto the tour?

[@fudge700]

[@kevmanbob]

Favourite album/artist/single of 2012 so far?

[@Hollyjohh]

How hard was it to get to where you"re at now in your career?

[@jak3legacy]

Dallas, what kind of music do you listen to regularly?

[@laurenburleigh285]

What made you go from the music of Alexisonfire to this much softer music of City and Colour? And which type do you prefer?

[@NicholasMcIlveen]

how do you think that leaving Alexisonfire has changed the way you approach writing and playing City and Colour Songs: EX. the new need for a full band

[@nontheistdv]

When you play these impromptu sessions of you songs, do you rehearse the variations in any way prior, or is it just free form in the moment?

[@DesiretoInspireyo]

Will you ever fly with Qantas again?

[@happinessintowild]

when did you decide to "break away" from alexisonfire to form city and colour? ALSO will you come back to atlanta soon?!
