Two songs into tonight’s show, you begin to wonder how many we’ll actually get through. If his career as a singer-songwriter ever founders, Colin Hay will be able to slip seamlessly into a new gig as a stand-up comic.
There are fewer things better to me than a singer songwriter alone on stage with their guitar, sharing their stories with the rest of the world. So this past weekend at the Lincoln Theatre in Washington, DC was a treat.
Who can it be now? Why, it's Colin Hay, the bearded Scotsman famed for fronting the band Men at Work. With his signature dry sense of humor, Colin is well recognized when he's on the stage, as was the case at the Lincoln Theatre in DC recently.
The former Men at Work frontman dipped into '80s pop hits, extensive solo catalog and classic covers for an energetic, well-received evening of entertainment. Review, photos.
The titles of several of his songs were unmistakable, even if previously unheard. On Men at Work songs like “Who Can It Be Now?”and “It's a Mistake,” the titles were repeated again and again in the hook lines.
