Xavier Rudd Tickets for Sale

Born in Torquay in 1978, Rudd was fond of music since childhood. Before pursuing a solo career, he performed with the music band Xavier and the Hum. Among his inspirations are Natalie Merchant, David Lindley, Leo Kottke and Ben Harper. His compositions also carry the influences of Native American and Hawaiian music.

As a child Rudd self learnt the circular breathing technique by practicing on his vacuum cleaner tube at home. This technique is used to produce a continuous uninterrupted tune. It needs to be learnt in order to play the instrument didgeridoo which the music artist mastered in the years to follow. However, Rudd did not restrict himself to a couple of instruments and took keen interest in acquiring other music skills such as playing the guitar, saxophone and the clarinet. He put his creativity to good use by combining several instruments to produce new and unique sound arrangements. This included playing bass lines on the guitar along with finger picking on the lower strings.
