Colin Hay Sets US, UK And Australian Dates

by Roger Wink, VVN Music on September 8, 2013

in Live,News

Colin Hay, former lead of Men at Work, has announced his new tour which he is calling “Finding My Dance.”

Hay explained the name in a statement. “An aboriginal man once came backstage after a show and said to me in a kindly voice, “Where’s your dance? I used to like your dance, you’ve lost your dance mate, you’ve gotta find your dance.” So, I set out in search of it, looking here, there and everywhere in all corners of the globe. Quite soon I realized that “finding my dance” is an inner search, and that whilst I may never truly find it, it matters not. What’s important is to keep searching, and in the process, refine and simplify the steps.”

“Finding My Dance” is Hay’s expression for connecting with one’s authentic self. In the process, he takes the audience on a musical journey, sometimes straight down the main road, and sometimes taking the twists and turns of the road less traveled.
