Colin Hay

Colin Hay is a Scottish-Australian singer-songwriter and storyteller whose legendary career began as the frontman and primary songwriter for the 1980s sensation Men at Work, the band behind global hits like “Down Under,” “Who Can It Be Now?,” and “Overkill.” Since the group’s disbandment, Hay has built a prolific solo career based in Los Angeles, releasing over fifteen studio albums—including his most recent 2025 project, Man @ Work Volume 2—and becoming a beloved cultural fixture through his frequent musical appearances on the television show Scrubs and his contribution to the Garden State soundtrack. Known for his dry wit, rich baritone, and virtuosic acoustic performances, he is a long-standing member of Ringo Starr’s All-Starr Band and a mainstay of the L.A. music scene, where he is set to perform his signature one-man show at Largo at the Coronet on Saturday, January 3, 2026. This intimate performance, a local tradition for Hay, will showcase his unique blend of heartfelt folk-pop melodies and humorous anecdotes, offering fans a career-spanning set that proves his enduring relevance as a master craftsman of the song.
