Hippie surfer, singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Xavier Rudd will leave his home in Australia for a three-week Canadian tour in the new year.

The tour is in support of Rudd’s latest LP, White Moth, which was released by Universal and co-produced by Dave Ogilvie (David Bowie, Marilyn Manson).

Rudd’s music features roots, reggae and rock elements, and he uses native Australian instruments and indigenous voices to create an authentic Australian sound.

Rudd has been working on the film score for Surfer Dude, starring surfer buddy Matthew McConaughey, Woody Harrelson and Willie Nelson.

Mishka, a like-minded British Columbia-based singer/songwriter/musician, will join Rudd on the tour.
