oin us July 18th for an unforgettable evening with Bobby Alu, the Australian/Samoan singer, ukulele strummer, and drummer whose music blends Polynesian folk, roots, reggae, soul, and tropical pop into what he calls “audio sunshine.”
Known for his warm stage presence and feel-good grooves, Bobby has toured internationally alongside artists like Xavier Rudd and the John Butler Trio, building a reputation as a world-class live performer. His songs invite listeners to slow down, soak in the moment, and enjoy the simple joys of life.
Set inside our beautifully restored 1920s barn, this concert is part of The Series at Lavender Hill Farm, an intimate summer music experience where nationally touring artists perform for Northern Michigan audiences in a one-of-a-kind farm setting.
Arrive early to picnic on the lawn, enjoy preshow music in the amphitheater, and spend the evening surrounded by music, community, and the beauty of the farm.
About the Artist: BOBBY ALU
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 favorite 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, 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. 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 and his band of musical soul brothers for a dose of audio sunshine to make young and old feel truly happy in the heart!
