Xavier Rudd, Australian musician, activist and surfer, is an artist of both imagination and conscience. Xavier Rudd’s ability to marry uplifting melodies with thought-provoking themes and concepts produces music that, one way or another, makes you feel good.
With an array of guitars, yidakis (didgeridoos), stomp box and percussion, Rudd re-introduced a lot of Australians to the sounds and stories of the land’s original owners, while introducing the rest of the world to an entirely new sound altogether. And, over the course of a decade, he has taken this sound to every corner of the globe; producing six studio albums, two live albums, multiple ARIA nominations and a global fanbase of likeminded souls.
Xavier Rudd will be hitting the stage at the Boomerang Festival this Saturday.

This is what we need: ‘Artists with Conscience’ not just ego, but conscience about themselves, their work, their special role in the world and how they can make others more conscious, and the world a better place. This guy’s obviously got it, he’s understood it, and has something valuable to offer. Performers can be fantastic change-makers! How refreshing. Way to go, Xavier Rudd!
