I have been a big fan of Colin Hay's music for quite a long time.

One of the first concerts I ever saw was Men at Work at Radio City Music Hall...and I must admit, I used to film Men at Work music videos in my basement, hoping one day to be a big music video star.

Well, I did follow the dream of working in the music industry and had the honor of interviewing Colin when he was in Nashville awhile back for a great show at the Wildhorse. He certainly is as entertaining off stage as he is on stage!

Now Colin is back visiting Music City for a special CD release show for his amazing new album, American Sunshine, from local indie label, Compass Records.

If you get a chance, and you should, catch Colin Hay (of Men at Work) at The Belcourt on Friday, Sept 25 @ 8pm.

Colin's new album, American Sunshine, is in-stores now.
Tickets
Colin's Site

...and don't try to You Tube my Men at Work music videos. They're locked in a vault somewhere!

Cheers,

Johnny T.
