Xavier Rudd Announces U.S. Tour Including Dates with Rodrigo y Gabriela

Charleston City Paper experienced a preview of the new lineup this past summer, raving "With a powerful presence center stage, bassist Tio Molontoa cranked out some funky bass with a background of the aboriginal flag, while drummer Andile Nqubezelo, stage right, demolished the drums�From beginning to end Rudd's performance had fans in a frenzy bobbing around to a fusion of Aboriginal Funk."

Rudd is known for his extraordinary stage show that finds him performing guitar, didgeridoo and various percussion parts simultaneously�using a unique set-up that literally surrounds him with various instruments, singing from behind a stand holding three didgeridoos of different keys. He has led sold-out tours in Europe, Canada, Australia and the US, both headlining and supporting the likes of the Dave Matthews Band, Jack Johnson and Ben Harper. In Australia, he has collected a string of gold and platinum sales awards for his albums and DVDs.
