Hay chats about his latest album
Men at Work frontman Colin Hay recently released his 14th solo studio album, Now And The Evermore. The set comprises a collection of ten tracks that celebrate life and love, one that insists on finding silver linings and reasons to smile at every turn. Hay is supporting the album by trekking across the country with an acoustic solo show.
Last week, Matt Bailey chatted with Hay in person before his performance at Washington, DC’s Lincoln Theatre. Throughout the two hour, 17-song set, Hay told stories and showed off a dry wit to rival any comedian. In fact, the crowd reacted just as well to his humor and self-effacing nature as they did his music.
During their chat, Hay talks about the origins of the album and what’s it like to be back on the road since the pandemic began.
Hay will also be involved in Men at Work’s forthcoming 18 date tour with Rick Springfield and John Waite. He’s also a touring member of Ringo Starr’s All Starr Band who are due to restart touring soon.
The back half of this hour long episode features us chatting about our upcoming Nashville trip where we are covering the CMT Music Awards and both Garth Brooks shows. We also talk about some recent music news involving Brooks opening an entertainment concept bar, Eric Church canceling a gig to see a NCAA championship game, and the passing of Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins.
