Get ready for an unforgettable night with the legendary voice of famed 80’s rock group Men at Work, Colin Hay, on November 12 in the Strand Theatre. With songs that span decades and stories that touch the soul, Colin Hay brings his signature wit, charm and unmistakable voice to the Strand Theatre for a memorable performance. From the iconic “Down Under” to deeply personal solo works like “Waiting for My Real Life to Begin,” Hay’s music is a blend of humor, heart and honesty.
MORE ABOUT COLIN HAY
Born in Scotland, Colin Hay moved with his family as a teenager to Australia, where he first came to international fame with seminal ’80s hitmakers Men At Work. While the band would reach the heights of stardom—they took home a GRAMMY Award for Best New Artist and sold more than 30 million records worldwide on the strength of #1 singles like “Who Can It Be Now?” and “Down Under”—by 1985, they’d called it quits and gone their separate ways. Hay released his solo debut the following year and, over the course of the next three-and-a-half decades, went on to record twelve more critically acclaimed studio albums that would help establish him as one of his generation’s most hardworking and reliable craftsmen. Rolling Stone praised his “witty, hooky pop” tunes, while NPR’s World Café lauded his “distinctive voice,” and late night hosts from David Letterman and Craig Ferguson to Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel have all welcomed him for performances.
