   About Colin Hay
Colin Hay’s upcoming release American Sunshine finds Hay reaching a new pinnacle in his storied career -- his songwriting honed by discipline and experience, his unmistakable voice sharpened by a seemingly unending run of sold-out performances both solo and with his band. Noticeably reinvigorated, American Sunshine is a collection of new songs boasting the timeless melodic grace and lyrical wit long associated with Hay, magnified by dynamic, uncluttered performances. For old and new fans alike, American Sunshine marks the welcomed return of an iconic pop underdog, in peak form.

While Colin Hay’s voice and visage are still familiar to millions from his tenure as the charismatic frontman, principal songwriter, and lead vocalist of pop sensation Men at Work (“Down Under,” “Overkill,” “Who Can It Be Now?”), the past ten years have found him quietly re-introducing himself to new generations of fans. The frequent use of his music on soundtracks – including the hit NBC show Scrubs (on which he has also had several cameos) and the sleeper-hit soundtrack to the film Garden State – has proven the timeless appeal of his songs’ personae: quizzical, curious, cynical yet open-hearted.

Colin,
I’m the Melbournian who you sang happy birthday to last year at your San Juan Capistrano gig. You made my night mate! I was really fighting back the tears.
My name is Matt and I am marrying my Californian girl in October. She is a huge fan of yours as am I. After a hard slog with immigration over the last few years marriage seemed the obvious solution. We always knew we wanted to get married but wanted to hold off and not be forced into it for immigration reasons. The time has come. I know you would have gone through the same hardships immigrating to the US.
In October my friends and family are coming over from Melbourne for our small (100 people) wedding in the Temecula wineries of California.
I found a Youtube video of you playing at a wedding in 2006 and wanted to know if this was a one off or something you would consider again.
My fiancé Sarah and I are some of your biggest fans and would be honored if you would consider attending / playing at our wedding. It would make it an unforgettable night.
We will always be true Colin Hay fans.
Matt Johnston

Sonicbids is an Artist and Promoters Worst Nightmare

Recently we began a trial usage of Sonicbids service for our artist and band searches.

As a result of that test it became clear that Sonicbids is all about earning money at the expense of artists looking to break through the wall that surrounds the music industry.

Based on our experiences from both the perspective of artists we are associated with seeking to benefit from opportunities offered though Sonicbids. As well as from the perspective of promoters searching for talent through Sonicbids service.

We have concluded that Sonicbids operation is nothing more than another one of these money making SCAMS that is generating as much as $8,000,000.00 a year for Sonicbids at the expense of artists and bands paying subscription fees on top of submission fees to be considered by promoters utilizing Sonicbids services. Of which many of these Promoters are running nothing but a SCAM on artists or bands that apply.

First, you should be aware of where the money goes. For every dollar an Artist or Band pays for Sonicbids’ subscription fees, it goes directly into Sonicbids pockets. Second, the first $100.00 of every listing by a promoter, as well as 50% of all fees you pay for any listing also goes directly into the pockets of Sonicbids. This means that Sonicbids is, by our estimation, pocketing over 75% of all monies collect from unsuspecting artists and bands.

I see in your words
(and the silent spaces between them)
a quiet majesty and humble grandeur

poetic proof that there is more
to the mountain than elevations
I dare not hope to aspire

so I will sit in the valley meadow
braiding tiny purple flowers
into my hair, patiently waiting

listening for your voice
in the echo

The new CD has been playing in the car all week...the more I listen the more I appreciate the poetry and story in your lyrics. I am glad I picked up all of your CD's at the IC concert. Thanks for all you do to perfect the craft. In poetry and peace, IB =)
