Xavier Rudd is an extremely talented musician from Australia. He has recorded many songs that address the current condition of the environment, songs of peace, songs for the land, songs for humanity and songs about connections made between people throughout the world. He has been a major influence in my life for the past two years. I first found out about him through a dear friend of mine from Colorado whom I spent the summer working with in the Adirondack, NY. Xavier has a new album out called "White Moth" and he is currently on a world tour. I had the chance to see him at a small venue in Santa Cruz, CA last month. He is a one man show, he plays the udu drums, bongos, Dobro guitar, acoustic guitar and steel guitar, harmonica, step drum, didgeridoos/yidaki and he uses his voice during jams to complete his sound. The show that he puts on is a work of art and the number of instruments that he uses while jamming is mind blowing to see live and if you have a chance to see his live show or even pick up his new album, I would highly recommend it.He has a new single out called "Better People" and it is a song about the people in this world who make a difference and play their part in making this world a better place to live in. It is truly a great song.
