Singer-songwriter Colin Hay burst onto the global music scene as frontman for Aussies Men at Work. Colin revisits the greatest songs and other surprises of that remarkable band with his Los Angeles-based Men at Work Touring Band in a livestream show via Mandolin on Sunday, Nov. 1!
“I am lucky to still be able to write, record and play music for a living,” Colin said. “I will have something new to release very soon. Some 40 years ago, this was my aspiration. I wanted to be in a great rock band and tour the world. My dreams came true. That was a long time ago, though sometimes it feels like just the other day.”
He added, “I toured last year as Men at Work, and it was a truly great experience. Touring is obviously on hold for the foreseeable future, so I offer this virtual concert with my band, of my favorite Men at Work songs, 40 years on. You don’t even have to leave your house, which at the moment, is still a good idea.”

Post-show meet and greets are available also.
