Colin Hay will be performing at the downtown Ann Arbor venue, The Ark, on Sunday, November 8th at 7:30 pm.
Formerly the lead singer of the band ‘Man at Work’, the Scottish Australian musician has been touring solo as a singer songwriter since the 1990’s. The combination of beautiful guitar accompaniment and a kind, soulful voice allows Hay’s songs to connect with the listener on a highly personal level. His lyrics are honest and introspective, and he has contributed to a number of well known soundtracks, such as his song “I Just Don’t Think I’ll Ever Get Over You” for Garden State (2004).
Some of the Hay’s other well known songs include Overkill and Waiting For My Real Life To Begin. The Ark will likely be highly conducive to an intimate listening experience with Hay. The small, friendly upstairs venue brings every audience member close to the performer – ideal for sitting back and letting Hay’s tasteful acoustics and vocals to settle peacefully.
Though the show is currently sold out, those interested can likely find tickets as the doors open at 7:00 at The Ark, as a guests typically sell their extra tickets in line prior to each show.
