Xavier Rudd
+ support: Kyle Lionhart
Let op: vrije sta- en (een beperkt aantal) zitplaatsen.
Xavier Rudd staat bekend als een van de meest gedreven songwriters van Australië. Met zijn feeldgood muziek weet de multi-instrumentalist de harten van mensen over de hele wereld te veroveren. Na negen studioalbums verschijnt op 21 april zijn eerste livealbum, Live In The Netherlands getiteld. Op dinsdag 27 juni komt Xavier Rudd terug naar Groningen.
Live In The Netherlands is opgenomen tijdens de laatste show van Xavier Rudd’s uitverkochte Europese Tournee. Met zijn twee uur durende show wist hij het publiek te betoveren met zijn tomeloze energie. De magie die deze avond ontstond wilde hij delen met de wereld en zo ontstond het idee voor zijn livealbum.
Xavier over dit gedenkwaardige concert:
“Live in the Netherlands kind of just fell together pretty organically. The tour in Europe was sold out and pumping and Bobby, Ant and I were really on top of our game. The energy at the shows was huge and there was a really strong thread of positive intention running through the communities. We had an opportunity to record the last two nights in Utrecht, which I thought would be a good idea mainly for a reference for us to document where we were at. When I listened back to it I felt like we captured some magic particularly on the last night and I’m happy to share, what I feel is the best live product I’ve released to this point in my career.”
Het dubbelalbum bestaat uit achttien van zijn meest geliefde nummers, waaronder zijn wereldwijde hit Follow The Sun en een briljante cover van publieksfavoriet No Woman No Cry. Naast de vocalen is Xavier verantwoordelijk voor het bespelen van de gitaar, weissenborn, didgeridoo, harmonica en stombox. Hij wordt muzikaal ondersteund door Charles Wall (Bobby Alu) op drums, percussie en achtergrond zang en Ant Aggs op keyboard en piano.
De support-act van vanavond is Kyle Lionhart; een neo-folk/soul artiest afkomstig uit de Australische surf-enclave Byron Bay.
“Mark my words: Met Xavier Rudd halen we de zomer in huis! Overduidelijk is dat ‘Werelds Meest Sexy Vegetariër’ zijn roots ‘down under’ heeft liggen; niet alleen vanwege de zonnige, onbezorgde sound van zijn muziek, maar ook de maatschappij-kritische teksten waarin hij de rechten van de Aboriginals aanhaalt.”

“Een hoopvol album en de wetenschap dat dit live nog meer kan kolken dan het hier al doet.”
