BOBBY ALU
If you ask Australia’s Bobby Alu what his music sounds like, he’ll tell you how he hopes it makes you feel: like you have your favoritecocktail in hand, sipping as the sun sets on a balmy 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, 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, John Butler Trio and Trevor Hall across North America and Europe –it’s common to see punters exiting a show gesturingwarmly to their hearts.

Keep It Tropicalis 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 and band as they keep the sunshine rolling through Fall along the West Coast
