COLIN HAY @ NEW JERSEY PERFORMING ARTS CENTER

Colin Hay

New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) is proud to present Men at Work’s lead singer Colin Hay in the Victoria Theater on Thursday, November 10th at 8PM. Colin Hay is familiar to millions as the front man, songwriter, and vocalist of pop sensation group of the 80’s Men at Work known for their top hits including “Down Under,” “Overkill,” “Who Can it Be Now?” Hay is justifiably proud of his place in pop history, but since moving to Los Angeles in 1989, he’s made 11 critically-acclaimed solo albums, including the highly successful Man at Work, and has recently announced the release of his new album Next Year People on Compass Records.

The album was produced by Hay and mixed by Chad Fischer (Chasing Mavericks, Ice Age 3, Lisa Loeb) and includes contributions from two young Cuban musicians, San Miguel Perez and Yosmel Montejo, both of whom recently emigrated from Havana, as well Larry Goldings on piano, Jeff Babko (Jimmy Kimmel) on B3, and Colin's wife, vocalist Cecilia Noel.

Over the past 15 years Hay has reinvented himself as a solo artist, regularly selling out theaters and listening rooms across the US and around the world and introducing himself to a new generation of fans in the process. “I started off playing acoustic; it’s my natural game, if you will,” he concludes. “It’s the point I started from and may well be the point I end with. It’s always what I return to.”
