Anyone familiar with a Bobby Alu live experience has witnessed the ease with which the Australian-Samoan moves from strumming blissfully away on his ukulele to raising the roof with a energetic percussion sequences, complete with traditional log drums.

Good vibes are definitely flowing for the ‘hammock music’ aficionado. Fresh from a nomination in the Blues and Roots category at the Queensland Music Awards, Bobby Alu is a finalist in the 2018 International Songwriting Competition and just last month picked up a Pacific Music Award nomination for FLAVA Best International Pacific Artist.

With a third album dropping this year, Bobby Alu hits the road armed with the only tools he needs – a uke and smile from ear to ear.
