Xavier Rudd

Torquay, VIC

Genre: Roots

Xavier sits there, bare foot and honest with a grinspread across his face. He is happy, because the crowd is happy. It is a sincerity and frankness that is reflected in his music and his performances Xavier Rudd is a multi-instrumentalist delivering a unique and harmonious combination of lyrics, vocals, instruments and energy that is warm, powerful and emotive. His performances are captivating and his talent unmistakable, which goes some way to explaining the huge level of support that he attracts where ever he tours.

As he begins you are immediately drawn into the warmth of his sound. His bare feet work the rhythm on the stomp box as he effortlessly glides his Weissenborn guitar though fluid melodies. The candidness of his vocals teamed with the depth and mysticism of the didgeridoo all provide for a unique and inspiring performance.

Hailing from Torquay on the Southern Victorian coast in Australia, Xavier has a strong affinity for the beauty and naturalness of his surrounds. An influence that lends itself well to Xavier's interpretation on life, and indeed his music.
