3^rd Show Added!

SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 10^th, 2008

 

Due to overwhelming demand a third Xavier Rudd show has been added on February 10^th, 2008!  Tickets go on sale on Friday, January 11^th at 2PM.

For so many artists, the divide between their live shows and their albums can be enormous. And for an artist like Xavier Rudd, who utterly thrives in front of an audience, and feeds off its energy, capturing that live electricity has always proved a wee elusive—that is, until now.

With White Moth he's finally harnessed that spirit, thus realizing a goal of combining the acoustic warmth offered by a studio with the adrenalin of the stage. Yet the disc, the Australian roots music star's fourth album (and third to be released in the U.S.), isn't all about sound techniques, fidelity and the stuff that keep soundman chatting into the middle of the night.

White Moth charts the spiritual journey multi-instrumentalist Rudd has been on over the past few years, during which he's traveled the globe and built a devoted following drawn to his amalgamation of folk, reggae, rock and world music. Featuring guest vocals from Aboriginal singers, it finds him paying respect to Australia's indigenous people, from whom the Yidaki (didgeridoo) virtuoso has drawn bottomless inspiration. Lyrically, it pays homage to those same people, and also to his wife and children, environmental activists—whom he refers to as the "better people"—and to the people who make this life possible, his fans, who fuel the spirit of White Moth.
