Colin Hay Band at the Fly By Night

This event has passed!

After touring the US in 2009 with Ringo Starr’s All Starr Band, followed by extensive solo touring to launch his new album ‘American Sunshine’, Colin Hay will return to Australia in 2010 for a full band Tour in March.

Most artists who have experienced the levels of success and adulation Hay has would be content to sit back and earn a living walking to the mailbox and back. Yet Hay is restless, eager to move forward and continually hone his craft while continuing to challenge himself.

As frontman and principle songwriter for eighties hit machine Men at Work, Colin Hay is responsible for one of the most identifiable sounds in pop music: infectious, Caribbean-spiked blue-eyed soul with a pointedly quizzical lyrical outlook. Classic songs like "Down Under," "Overkill," and "Who Can It Be Now" unfold before the ears like miniature movies, with timeless twists and a bittersweet sense of humour.

The wit and warmth that defined the now-classic Men at Work albums is still intact in Colin Hay. Whether fronting an electric band, contributing to a Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band performance, or in a more low-key acoustic setting, Hay's everyman charm, familiar voice, and clever observations still resonate with an audience.
