Xavier Rudd

I have a new obsession. Xavier Rudd. He can play the guitar and the didgeridoo at the same time. Everything a girl could want!

We went to see him at the Fremantle Arts Centre. It was an open air concert and he came on stage just as the sun was setting in a vivid pink sky. He asked a Noongar aboriganal elder to open his show (Perth and Fremantle were built on Noongar land) and she blessed the show and the land for him!

The whole night had that chilled out, sitting in your back garden feel to it. We sat out on the grass and amongst the eucalypt trees and drank Fremantle beer and let good ole Xavier entertain us. His music is a mixture of roots, blues, reggae, chilled out rock and ambient.

Yet another spine tingling moment under muddled stars.
