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.

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.

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'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.

Birdy (Jasmine van den Bogaerde) broke into the mainstream in 2011 when, at the age of 14, she released a cover of Bon Iver's "Skinny Love," a song that remains a staple in her live performances. "Skinny Love" was a hit in the U.K. and Australia and helped her debut, self-titled album top album charts in Australia, the Netherlands and Belgium. Birdy's latest album, Portraits, is a blast of '80s orchestral synth-pop that recalls the best of the Eurythmics and Kate Bush. She will perform at festivals throughout Europe in the summer of 2024.

K.Flay (Kristine Flaherty) released her latest album, MONO, on Sept. 15, 2023 on Giant Music. Known for songs like "High Enough" and "Blood in the Cut," K.Flay says she recorded MONO like it was a debut album. "I just didn't have a ton of judgment," she says. "In a good way. I wasn't self censoring, or self judging, going, 'Man, that's a stupid idea.'" The result is "a no-holds-barred futuristic rock record" (When the Horn Blows) with "a fresh and rare auditory experience" (Spill Magazine).
On Billboard's Behind the Setlist podcast, K.Flay talks about her live shows, how she connects with her audience, the value of collaborating with other musicians, her hesitancy to use social media, how artists deal with mental health issues and what she does when she comes off stage.

Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney join Billboard's Behind the Setlist podcast (Glenn Peoples from Billboard and Jay Gilbert from Label Logic) to talk about the upcoming album, Ohio Players, out April 5. The debut single, "Beautiful People (Stay High)" and other tracks were inspired by the rock, R&B and funk 7" singles they played during their Black Keys Record Hang gigs at clubs around the U.S., Europe and Mexico City in 2023. "The way that a lot of those classic 45s are, there's there's no wasted space," says Carney. The guys talk about writing the song "On the Game" with Noel Gallagher of Oasis fame at a studio in London and, separately, the advice his brother Liam Gallagher gave them about how to build a setlist for a festival gig.
The Black Keys currently have some European dates set for April and May and one U.S. date, the NASCAR Chicago Street Race Weekend two-day festival on July 6.

Neil Finn of Crowded House joined Billboard's Behind the Setlist podcast to chat about the band's upcoming album, Gravity Stairs, out May 31 through BMG, and the first single, "Oh Hi" (watch the amazing video at YouTube here). Neil shares some insights into the songwriting craft, the band's live performances and Crowded House's long history.
Crowded House was formed in 1985 after the break-up of Neil's previous band Split Enz ("I Got You," "Message to My Girl"). The group's 1986 debut album was a huge success in the U.S., the group's native Australia and New Zealand and elsewhere. "Don't Dream It's Over" reached No. 2 on the Hot 100 singles chart in 1987, and "Something So Strong" reached No. 7 the same year. The band went on to continued success with the albums Temple of Low Men in 1988, Woodface in 1991 and Together Alone in 1993. After a pause, Crowded House returned with Time on Earth in 2007 and Intriguer in 2010. After yet another pause, they returned with Dreamers are Waiting in 2021.

Success — and longevity — isn't lost on Barenaked Ladies' Ed Robertson. "It just seems unreal to me that I've been in a band called Barenaked Ladies for three and a half decades," Robertson tells Behind the Setlist. Best known for their 1998 hit "One Week" and the theme song to the comedy TV show "Big Bang Theory," Barenaked Ladies is still going strong. They released their 14th studio album, In Flight, in September 2023 and are preparing for a U.K. tour in the spring before returning to more shows in the States. The band's joyous live shows have earned them a huge touring business at arenas and amphitheaters through the U.S. and Canada, their home country. Robertson says the band chose build a career in North America rather than try to break in Europe, Latin America and Asia. "We'll take any gig," says Robertson, "and we will deliver."
