Bobby Alu

About this event

If you ask Australian/Samoan singer, ukulele strummer and drummer Bobby Alu what his music sounds like, he’ll tell you how he hopes it makes you feel: like you have your favourite drink in hand, sipping as the sun sets on a warm evening that’s laden with the promise of adventure. In an ideal world, he’d follow summer around the earth, in his endless quest to nail that feeling in his songs that ride the groove spectrum from Polynesian folk, through roots, reggae, harmony-laden soul to tropical pop. With a reputation as a world-class performer – touring as Xavier Rudd’s percussionist for five years, and supporting the likes of Xavier Rudd, John Butler Trio and Trevor Hall across North America and Europe – Bobby’s most recent album, Keep It Tropical, debuted at #3 on the ARIA Australian Albums Chart. Though it’s primarily a mission statement: Take naps. Be generous. Go on adventures. Have gratitude. Enjoy the little things. Strive to be better. Don’t be so serious. Love. Laugh a lot. Eat the odd donut. Swim in the ocean. Enjoy the sunshine and warmth. Join Bobby for a dose of audio sunshine to make young and old feel truly happy in the heart.
