Acclaimed Australian singer-songwriter, Xavier Rudd announces his forthcoming EP Freedom Sessions, out March 29th via Salt.X Records / Virgin Music Group. Accompanying the announce is the new two-part single ‘World Order’.
On the release, Xavier says: “My first EP release in 25 years, ‘Freedom Sessions’ was created during a particularly unique period of time … and is a celebration of the blessing of ‘freedom’ – a simple state of being that we all should have the right to exist in.
The track ‘World order’ is a journey that explores the two parts or the yin and yang that is in everything and manifests within us so often. As a sensitive species of the planet that has strayed far from our original form and connection to our natural place on it, we are all often trying to find our way home to that place of complete resolve within. Due to the world order that has been inflicted on the planet and ourselves over the centuries we find ourselves negotiating the battles of generational trauma and conditioning that lingers in our hearts and minds. Such is life…. some days we have to scramble uphill with a heavy load and some days we feel like we can fly.”

Freedom Sessions will feature Xavier’s 2023 single releases; ‘High Times’, ‘Road Trippin’’ and ‘Free the People’, alongside a new single ‘Moments’ which will be unveiled on EP release.
This year will see Xavier touring the most intricate solo show of his career so far, kicking off in South Africa this week, where he will play ‘World Order’ live for the first time at three special headline shows. Immediately following are a sold-out Fremantle Prison show supported by his son’s new band Calypso Cora, and two headline SummerSalt Festival performances in WA in March. He recently announced a massive North American tour starting in May – his first US and Canadian run in over 5-years – and has another huge European Summer Festival tour planned in July and August. Bali, Fiji and more Australian shows are also on the calendar for 2024.

About XAVIER RUDD
With a successful career spanning more than 20 years, Xavier Rudd is one of Australian music’s all-time greats. Beginning his career with 2002’s definitive ‘To Let’, fans across the globe were drawn to the unique talents of this distinctly Australian-looking multi-instrumentalist and human and environmental rights activist. His impressive live shows have morphed over the years between full band, trio, and solo performances – with his most current iteration being an internationally recognised one-man band showcase that is the most intricate set-up of his solo career to date.
The past two-years have been highly eventful for Xavier, with the release of his critically acclaimed tenth studio album, Jan Jun Moon, which was rewarded an Australian APRA awards title and the Environmental Music Prize – the prize money for which was donated to environmental rights groups. He also took his show to huge festival performances both at home and abroad, including the likes of Glastonbury, Pinkpop and Rock Werchter festivals in Europe.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
