About

Since the very beginning, Xavier Rudd's ability to connect with people has been his most powerful gift. The more he has toured the world, the more hearts he has touched and the more of the world he has put back into his music. Now, fronting a band aptly named The United Nations, Xavier Rudd has assembled a lineup of musicians from around the world as a one-people musical force. Making their debut in 2015, Xavier Rudd And The United Nations finds the iconic Australian solo artist in full band mode for the first time in a long and successful career, and introduces new album Nanna to Xavier's diverse and acclaimed discography...

Enthralling audiences with his ability to wield so many instruments at once, Xavier's 2002 debut album, To Let, introduced a sound that was a mix of guitars, yidakis (didgeridoos), stomp box and percussion, blues harp and vocals. Something distinctly new, yet tied back through time to the spirit of our ancestors. With a sound established, Xavier's 2004 sophomore album, Solace, was testament to the power of his songwriting abilities. Solace debuted in the top 20 of the ARIA charts and was met as an instant classic; going platinum and earning Xavier two ARIA nominations, with three of its songs  – Let Me Be, Shelter and Solace – voted into triple j's Hottest 100.

Only a year later, Xavier was receiving his third ARIA nomination, this time for third album Food In The Belly. Celebrated for Xavier's abilities to effortlessly weave genres together - from the reggae sway of The Mother, to the irresistible tribal jam of Manã - Food In The Belly impacted strongly in Australia and Europe, landing Xavier on the Dutch album charts for the first time. Xavier's gold-selling follow-up, White Moth, continued on this path of international success. Released in 2007 on Epitaph sister label ANTI-, White Moth reached #30 on the US Billboard charts and earned Xavier another ARIA nomination back home.

Nudging ahead of White Moth one spot to peak the ARIA charts at #5, 2008's Dark Shades Of Blue was Xavier's biggest musical departure, yet resulted in massive fan and critical acclaim. Gritty, dark and introspective, the album connected deeply with fans, and reintroduced Xavier as formidable lap steel player. 2010's Koonyum Sun - recorded as trio Xavier Rudd And Izintaba - was a return to lighter shades. Featuring a new sound courtesy of a collaboration with bassist Tio Moloantoa and percussionist Andile Nqubezelo - yet abundant in the blues'n'roots charm of his earliest work - Koonyum Sun brought Xavier Rudd full circle.

Debuting at #2 on the ARIA charts, Xavier's 2012 album Spirit Bird was the triumphant pinnacle of of his entire solo career – capturing the most beautiful aspects of his voice, his songs and his spirit. Led by the wonderfully delicate Follow The Sun, Spirit Bird saw Xavier Rudd yet again tour the world, bringing together old fans and new, regardless of their culture or country of origin. Now, this ability to connect is at the heart of Xavier Rudd And The United Nations – a band with a strong message of all people coming together around the globe to return to spirit, respect the ancient ways and protect the Earth and the very essence of creation.

Mixed by Errol Brown at Tuff Gong Studios, Nanna is Xavier's ninth studio album, but his first with Xavier Rudd And The United Nations... finding one of the great solo artists of our time fronting a full band with impeccable results. Once again diving into new musical waters while still holding true to the music in his heart, Xavier Rudd has added another remarkable milestone to his already epic journey, solidifying his place as one of Australia's greatest artists, activists and spirits.

  • Xavier Rudd is mind-blowing!

    by Anonymous on 7/26/17Port City Music Hall - PortlandRating: 5 out of 5

    I've been waiting years to see him live. He didn't disappoint! His message is as powerful as the music itself. It was simply soul-stirring.

  • Xavier Rudd is amazing

    by GrizzyJ on 7/25/17Port City Music Hall - PortlandRating: 5 out of 5

    Best concert I've been too. Crazy energy . Unbelievable.

  • too much back lighting

    by Peg4157 on 7/23/17The Danforth Music Hall - TorontoRating: 4 out of 5

    He was great BUT, we were in the balcony and the back lighting was shining directly in our eyes, almost all the time.

  • What do you mean, who's Xavier Rudd?

    by MommaBear88 on 7/15/17Paradise Rock Club - BostonRating: 5 out of 5

    I had an amazing time and I went alone. None of my friends knew who Xavier Rudd was. That didn't stop me. I'll be back!

  • Xavier is a gem!

    by Alivk on 7/15/17Paradise Rock Club - BostonRating: 5 out of 5

    We love being in the company of Xavier Rudd. He has such great energy!!!!

  • Xavier Rudd was perfect

    by Gustavogrilo on 7/15/17Paradise Rock Club - BostonRating: 5 out of 5

    The concert was great, the place was great and the crowd was great. I first heard him a year ago and it was na emotional moment to share the Concert with my wife and my baby girl who is still in my wifes belly

  • Phenomenal!!!

    by LuckyFriday13 on 11/9/15The Danforth Music Hall - TorontoRating: 5 out of 5

    Xavier Rudd and the United Nations did not disappoint at the Danforth on November 6th, 2015. I was in awe of the amazing acoustics in the venue, and how excellent it was to get up close to the stage with general admission. It was my second time seeing both Xavier Rudd, and also Bobby Alu on drums. Both are on my top favourite artists.

  • by minnesotanslovexavier on 11/8/15Métropolis - MontrealRating: 5 out of 5

    We saw the show in Montreal and again in Ottawa. The nights were both magical and amazing! The opening band - Emmanuel Jal was u forgettable too! We were blessed to be at both shows!

  • Best show ever!!!

    by Lilafay on 11/8/15Métropolis - MontrealRating: 5 out of 5

    I will never miss a Xavier Rudd show. Best therapy, workout for the soul.

  • Mellow to a fault

    by Anonymous on 10/26/15Commodore Ballroom - VancouverRating: 3 out of 5

    While Xavier Rudd and The United Nations perform well and sound great, the evening here in Vancouver did not match the venue. It was held at the Commodore Ballroom, one of the best venues by design to get your groove on. This show however never really got grooving to any great degree. It was ultra mellow with a steady list of reggae rhythms. As mentioned, this band is seasoned and sounds great but we were just left wanting. While it is the wrong time of year here for an outdoor, this concert with set list as it was would be better held at Deer Lake Park in Burnaby, if you could draw the numbers of course.

  • Fantastic new band, and Xavier was better than eve

    by JumpinJimmyJimbo on 10/20/15Fillmore Auditorium (Denver) - DenverRating: 5 out of 5

    Xavier has been one of favorite acts for years, and this band he put together is really tight and each member is so talented at their given part. This is truly a band to see if you like this kind of music. They were fantastic from start to finish. Great energy all the way...

  • So much energy!!

    by Peebs7777 on 10/20/15Fillmore Auditorium (Denver) - DenverRating: 5 out of 5

    Count on Xavier to lift your spirits.The band did an amazing job at keeping the energy flowing.Best show I have seen in awhile and I go to see many artists each year.

  • Xavier Rudd was boring!

    by staythesame on 10/20/15Fillmore Auditorium (Denver) - DenverRating: 1 out of 5

    Xavier Rudd has changed his musical style so much that I would probably never go to see another show. When something is as good as he was you don't need to change it. Very boring show, his music all sounded the same.

  • Xavier Rudd will blow your mind

    by Anonymous on 5/27/1520th Century Theater - CincinnatiRating: 5 out of 5

    Saw Xavier Rudd and the United Nations in Cincinnati on May 20, 2015 at the 20th Century Theater. The show was amazing. The energy was really strong from both the band and the audience. I would highly recommend seeing Xavier Rudd if you can. He is truly an inspiring artist and will touch your mind, body, soul, and spirit. His music is simply mind blowing. Even if you have never heard of Xavier Rudd, you WILL NOT be disappointed. His concerts are much more than music events.

  • Xavier Rudd and the United Nations! 5/5*

    by JJ420 on 5/26/1520th Century Theater - CincinnatiRating: 5 out of 5

    5/5 stars from my trip to the show to the show and ride home it was amazing, had a great time! Would HIGHLY recommend Xavier!

  • by Anonymous on 5/6/15Bowery Ballroom - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    Great show! Music was very uplifting and powerful. Intimate venture which played well with the band. Enjoyed myself immensely

  • Xavier is a fun soul! He rocked it!!!

    by Alivk on 5/5/15Paradise Rock Club - BostonRating: 5 out of 5

    My husband and I got away for this amazing show! We have been playing and singing and living Xavier Rudd all week! He is the kind of performer that would be really fun to meet and hang out with. He just exudes positive energy! We really like him!

  • Funnest and most heartwarming concert in the last

    by sweetbizkit on 5/5/15Paradise Rock Club - BostonRating: 5 out of 5

    Xavier, is just the nicest warmest person, he talks a lot to his public not only through his music. Everyone attending was really nice too so there was a great loving feeling in the air overall, that's what his music does.
