Xavier Rudd plays House of Blues(s), Canada, and some other places
Australia’s favorite didgeridoo-playing indie rocker will soon be returning to North America for something we like to call, the Xavier-Rudd-plays-House-of-Blues-Canada-and-some-other-places-summer-extravaganza! Beginning in mid-June, Xavier Rudd will embark on a month-long trek in support of last year’s Dark Shades of Blue, consisting of dates to both the west and north of the Mississippi - that’s the west coast and Canada for all you geography novices. As you’ll see below, many of these dates take place in the House of Blues - yes, you’re city isn’t the only one to have one!, and then, there’s an appearance at this year’s Winnipeg Folk Festival with Elvis Costello, Okkervil River, and Iron & Wine. Didgeridoo and Will Sheff? Oh, the possibilities.

That’s a bogus schedule… no Chicago, hell no midwest or east coast shows.
I hope he adds some addl dates… although a road trip to BC would be primo!
