“I’m deeply grateful for the life I have,” says Colin Hay, “and I think my natural tendency has always been towards optimism and humor. Lately, though, I’ve had to be more intentional about it. I’ve had to actively seek out the positive, to let new rays of hope shine on some seemingly dark situations.” That’s precisely what Hay does with his extraordinary new solo album, Now And The Evermore, facing down struggle, loss, and even his own mortality with grit and wit at every turn. Written and recorded in Hay’s adopted hometown of Los Angeles, the collection is a defiantly joyful celebration of life and love, one that insists on finding silver linings and reasons to smile. That’s not to say the record deludes itself about the realities of our modern world, but rather that it consistently chooses to respond to pain with beauty and doubt with wonder. The music on Now And The Evermore (Lazy Eye/Compass Records) is vibrant and animated, brimming with fanciful melodies, lush orchestration, and even a guest appearance from Ringo Starr, who kicks the whole thing off with a signature drum fill. Hay’s performances are likewise buoyant and full of life, drawing on vintage pop charm, pub rock muscle, and folk sincerity to forge a sound that’s at once playful and profound, clever and compassionate, whimsical and earnest. At its most basic level, Now And The Evermore offers a deeply personal acknowledgement of the relentless march of time, but zoom out and you’ll see that Hay’s contemplations of identity and eternity are in fact broader reflections on our shared humanity, on letting go of dead weight and reaching for the light no matter how dark things may get. “It’s a troubling and confounding and ever-inspiring world that we live in,” he muses. “I’m lucky to be able to wander downstairs and try to make some sense of it, at least to myself.” Born in Scotland, 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.

I just moved to Phoenix from Nashville and I can say that the Celebrity Theater is as good or better than any venue in Nashville! Every seat in the house is within 30 rows of the stage, all the way down to the free and abundant parking on site, drink prices, etc. The show was excellent, Colin Hay who I've seen many times was as good as ever and got the loudest applause from the crowd. The rest of the band delivered exactly what you would expect, excellence!
Celebrity Theatre Phoenix, AZAmazing gig. His voice is EXACTLY as it has always been - some of the notes he hits are ludicrous. The band was great without being phenomenal... the drums were overplayed and the bass could be drone-y at times, but the sax is worth the price of admission alone. Of course, it's the songs that made it such a memorable night. In particular, Waiting For My Real Life To Begin was a cracker, and the perfect finale. Highly, highly recommend seeing Colin Hay if you get a chance.
Hamer Hall Melbourne, AustraliaAmazing, amazing, amazing! Not many artists can perform solo and captivate an audience, but Colin Hay sure can. His warm, genuine in his stage presence as he tells stories, sings, and interacts with the audience. I’ve never seen him live before and I’ve been to over 100 live shows so far; I could have listened to him for hours. 70 years young and such strength in his voice! Makes me wish I would have seen him much much sooner. Amazing!
Pantages Theatre Minneapolis, MNColin Hay was absolutely brilliant but the number of people getting up and going out to get drinks, repeatedly was outrageous! Disruptive and rude! Drinks should not be available during a show. Disrupted the beautiful flow of his music not to mention dodging people’s bodies just to see. If people are genuinely thirsty water was available. Ffs people! Are you there to see a legend or just drink??? If you need to go to the loo that’s fine but honestly….
City Recital Hall Sydney, AustraliaThe consummate storyteller, with a voice that does not disappoint. You need not be a fan of Men At Work to appreciate the artistry of this talented performer. He has only grown in his vocal talents, and his music will hit you where it counts. You come away from his show feeling like you spent the evening with a very talented friend. This is a do not miss opportunity for anyone who loves soulful vocals and a guitar. Outstanding!
