Colin Hay on Men at Work’s Rise & Fall, Starting Over as a Solo Artist


Colin Hay talks to Billboard's Behind the Setlist podcast about Men at Work's rise and fall and his transition to a solo career. Listen here.

Initially facing small crowds of 30 or 40 people, Hay discovered that he had a knack for storytelling that captured the audience’s attention between songs. More than three decades later, Hay continues to entertain audiences with his solo acoustic shows filled with anecdotes and wry humor.
