COLIN HAY
I Just Don’t Know What To Do With Myself Tour
This past year was a long year for all of us. No restaurants,movie theaters,
parties or concerts. The lockdown came just as Colin Hay waspreparing to leave
for what he considered his most comprehensive North Americantour ever. A few
dates were played before venues were sealed shut. Now, as theworld slowly and
surely resumes some semblance of normalcy, Hay is heading outon the road for
real.
Thetour commences August 4 in Hyannis, Mass., and works its way through the
EastCoast, South, Midwest and West, ending September 11 in Redondo Beach, CA.
Renownedglobally as frontman in the Australian band Men at Work, Hay hassince
proven himself as a solo artist, touring with his own L.A.-based band andas part
of Ringo Starr’s All-Starr Band. But his love for music was born in hisnative
Scotland, where, working at his parents record store, he heard all thehits of
the day, from the Kinks’ “WaterlooSunset” to Faces’ “Ooh La La” to
DustySpringfield’s “I Just Don't Know What to Do WithMyself.” At home during
quarantine in early 2021, he read that Gerry Marsdenhad died and found himself
strumming the Gerry and the Pacemakers’ Merseybeat hit, “Don’t Let the Sun Catch
You Crying.”He decided to turn on the tape machines and share with his
frequentcollaborator/producer, Chad Fischer, whoasked for more of the same.
Thusfollowed the recording ofI Just Don’t Know What to Do With Myself, a new
studio album set for August 6 releasefeaturing ten versions of some of Colin’s
particular favorites — songs tied tomemories and eras in his life. These lushly
arranged versions showcase Hay’sability to interpret a song and remind one just
how instantly recognizable hisvoice is. While most of the songs are from the
’60s, Hay does a moving versionof Scottish group Del Amitri’s heartbreaking
“Driving With the Brakes On,” which hecalls “simply one of the best songs ever
written.”
Inaddition to I Just Don’t Know Whatto Do With Myself, Hay is at work on
acollection of originals. Those who attend his summer shows may get a preview
ofthose songs, as well as a retrospective of his Men at Work and solo years.
Accordingto Hay, "I recorded analbum of songs written by other people that have
meant a lot to me ever since Iwas a young fellow. I can’t wait to play them for
you on this upcoming jauntacross the land. Old songs, new songs, and everything
in between. It will begood to again make a good noise after so long, and
transport you to a place ofbeauty, hope and wonder.”
