It turns out that Xavier Rudd won’t just be playing casinos and the country of Canada when he kicks off his summer tour later this month. Now included in the Australian musician’s upcoming itinerary in support of last year’s Dark Shades of Blue will be dates at venues all across the U.S. this summer, resulting in what will be one long ass tour. The U.S. will even be getting a festival appearance from Mr. Rudd, who was recently added, along with a few other acts, to the lineup for this year’s All Points West.
