    Colin Hay (of Men at Work)
    Oct 9 2024
    Colin Hay is a natural storyteller. That side of him didn't come out during his brief tenure in the chart-topping Australian band Men at Work ("Who Can It Be Now?," "Down Under," "Overkill"). But after releasing two solo albums and getting dropped by his label, Hay reinvented himself as a solo artist who commands the stage with a mere guitar and his gift for an amusing anecdote. More than thirty years later, Hay has released an additional 13 albums (the most recent is 2022's Now and the Evermore) and criss-crosses the U.S. and beyond as both a solo artist and Men at Work.

    Lindsey Stirling

    Perry Farrell (of Jane's Addiction)
    Aug 6 2024
    Perry Farrell is one of a kind. He co-founded Jane's Addiction and left a lasting mark on rock music with the original band members' initial run of three albums: Jane's Addiction (1987), Nothing's Shocking (1988) and Ritual de lo Habitual (1990), the latter getting a boost into the mainstream from the song "Been Caught Stealing." Farrell also co-founded the traveling music festival Lollapalooza for the band's farewell tour in 1991 but continued the tour annually until 1998 (it brought back to life in Chicago in 2005 and has since expanded to Chile, Brazil and Argentina). Farrell and the three original members of Jane's Addiction are back with a new single, "Imminent Redemption" (released June 24) and a co-headlining tour of the U.S. with Love and Rockets. That kicks on August 9 in Las Vegas and runs to Sept. 26 in Indianapolis. Links Jane's Addition home page Jay Gilbert @ Label Logic Glenn Peoples @ Billboard Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Melissa Etheridge

    Melissa Etheridge
    Jul 23 2024
    Melissa Etheridge had wanted to perform at a prison for decades. In fact, she grew up within a stone's throw of a penitentiary in Leavenworth, Kansas, where Johnny Cash performed in 1970. "Prisons must be a place of great entertainment," she thought to herself, "and someday I'm gonna grow up and play a prison." Decades later, after a string of platinum albums and multiple Grammy Awards, Etheridge fulfilled her wish. The concert is memorialized in a moving two-part docuseries, "I'm Not Broken" (available not on Paramount+) and a new live album, I'm Not Broken: Live at Topeka Correctional Facility. Melissa talks to Billboard's Behind the Setlist podcast about how the show and series came together, her new song "A Burning Women," and why it was unlike any other concert she's ever performed.

    Mat Kearney
    Jul 19 2024
    Mat Kearney's self-titled, 8th studio album (released May 15 through Middle Kid Records) adds a dash of the early '80s to his highly crafted songwriting. Mat was enamored by the band The Brook & The Bluff, he tells Billboard's Behind the Setlist podcast, and had them back him in the studio to capture the exact sound he wanted (he also went for the sound of one of his favorite albums, Paul Simon's Graceland). Mat also talks about the contentedness he feels at this stage in his career, why he loves playing mid-sized theaters, his creative process in the studio, his popularity on the West Coast, the joy of touring and performing as a trio, the rising cost of renting a tour bus, and that one time he played Camila Cabello's "Havana" at a show in Oakland.
