Bobby Alu with Alysha Brilla

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 favorite cocktail 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 gesturing warmly to their hearts.

Bobby’s fourth album Keep It Tropical dropped in time to soundtrack northern hemisphere

Summer road trips and beach sunsets, achieving #3 on ARIA Australian Albums Chart along the

way. Keep It Tropical is 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.
