Xavier Rudd to play Waihi

One –man band Xavier Rudd is bringing his sound of rich tapestry of blues, reggae and folk music to Waihi on December 28.

Rudd will be joined by fellow blues travelers, Little Bushman, as they perform at the Waihi Beach hotel.


Xavier Rudd will performing at Waihi Beach Hotel with Little Bushman.

With his trademark toolkit of slide guitars, yidakis (didgeridoos), stomp box and an assortment of driving percussion that he assembles around him, Rudd is a towering multi-instrumentalist who has wowed audiences worldwide with his incendiary live performances, where he alone fulfils the role of an army of musicians.

Rudd's multitasking musicality is on full display on his most recent release, Spirit Bird, an album that soared straight to number two on Australia's ARIA album chart on its debut.

Having toured Spirit Birdthroughout Europe, Britain, Australia, the United States and Canada – as well as a sprint through New Zealand back in April – Rudd touches down in Aotearoa in late December to once again wow local crowds with his prodigious playing and evocative storytelling.

Joining Rudd will be his musical brothers-in-arms, Little Bushman, who will serve up their potent brew of heavy psychedelic soul at all three of Rudd's New Zealand appearances, truly a union of roots music brethren.

This meeting of minds will take place in Waihi Beach, Oakura and Motueka.

SunLive has a double pass to gig to giveaway and the Xavier Rudd entire album back catalogue.
