Colin Hay

“I’m deeply grateful for the life I have,” says Colin Hay, “and I think my natural tendency has always been towards optimism and humour… I’ve had to actively seek out the positive.”

That mindset shapes 'Now And The Evermore', Hay’s latest solo album—a vibrant, defiant celebration of life, love, and what it means to keep moving forward in the face of uncertainty. With his signature wit and warmth, the former frontman of Men At Work (of 'Down Under' fame) turns his gaze to the unknowable, reflecting on loss, identity, and hope through richly melodic, often whimsical songs that never shy away from life’s shadows.

Written and recorded in Los Angeles during lockdown, the album pairs Hay’s heartfelt songwriting with lush orchestration, vintage pop charm, and guest appearances from musical friends including Ringo Starr. The result is a record brimming with joy, honesty, and humour—qualities that have long made Hay a beloved live performer and storyteller.

Best known for his time with the GRAMMY-winning Men At Work, Colin Hay has since carved out a remarkable solo career, earning acclaim from Rolling Stone and NPR, soundtracking cult classics like Garden State, and touring globally with Ringo Starr’s All-Starr Band. On stage, he brings together heartfelt songcraft and razor-sharp comic timing in performances that are as moving as they are entertaining.

'Now And The Evermore' is a timely reminder to savour the moment, speak your love aloud, and seek out light—however dark things may seem.
