One man roots band Xavier Rudd brings his 'White Moth' success home.
His fourth studio album 'White Moth' has hit charts in Australia, the US, Europe and in his partially-adopted home of Canada, where Rudd has been spending an inordinate amount of time wowing audiences and the press.He supported the Dave Matthews Band on their northern hemisphere summer tour before releasing his album in June and committed to a headlining US tour. Rudd has already been getting rave reviews from outlets as diverse as Rolling Stone, Elle Magazine, Surfer Magazine, Guitar and Bass, and National Geographic Television.
Rudd's latest coup is getting to write much of the soundtrack on the new film for fellow bongo-playing beach bum Matthew McConaughey. The cosmic comedy 'Surfer, Dude' started filming in May in Australia and Malibu. McConaughey reportedly became a fan of Rudd during the actor's many sun-drenched jaunts on the Australian coast.
Rudd has to tidy up his US shows going to mid-August (including a House of Blues appearance), then has a quick whip around Europe (Spain, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, France and the UK) in September before playing almost 30 dates all over Australia in October and November.
