xavier rudd

Xzibit, as you thought I would write about when I inevitable arrived on "X", will have to wait until he agrees to pimp something I own.

Xavier Rudd is an Australian singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. He was born in 1978 and grew up in Torquay, Victoria.

He has a strong reputation for his outstanding live performances at musical festivals and concerts. I saw a show of his last year in Scotland, where the crowd gladly explained to the vegetarian what the national dish hagas really was. He was not impressed.

Many of Rudd's songs incorporate socially conscious themes, such as environmentalism and the rights of Aboriginal peoples. In addition to playing the didgeridoo in many of his songs, he has also included both Australian and Canadian Aboriginal vocals in some of his songs.
 Here is Xavier Rudd with his didgeridoos, drum foot pedals, slide guitar, and several other instruments. He plays them all at the same time while solving crimes in his van with his friends and dog- it is very impressive to see.
