On the current tour, he’s playing with a four-piece band and returning to his roots as a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. He put out an ambitious album, “Nanna,” with the group. He put together an eight-piece global collective of world musicians called the United Nations that placed Rudd at the center of a veritable reggae-tinged orchestra. In 2015, Rudd took a creative turn and started packing stages with global collaborators. Playing them all and singing, his sets quickly became must-see concerts and won him a loyal worldwide fan base, including a Colorado contingent that packed his shows in recent years at Belly Up, Jazz Aspen’s Labor Day Festival and the Mammoth Festival. Rudd burst on the international scene following his 2002 debut, “To Let,” playing mostly as a one-man band and storming the stage with a complex instrumental setup worthy of Rube Goldberg: combining as many as three didgeridoos, with a slide guitar on his lap and more string instruments at his side, a stompbox at his feet - drums, dobros, banjos, harmonicas and more within reach.
