- **Event Name**: Keep It Tropical NQ ~ Bobby Alu ~ Airlie Beach
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 06 Sep, 2026 at 03:00 pm (+10:00)
- **Event Description**: Bobby Alu ‘Keep It Tropical – North QLD’

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 favourite 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. Though 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.

~ with special guests Tom Busby & Dylan Hammond ~

Tom Busby, best known as one half of Busby Marou, has built a loyal following with his easygoing blend of folk, acoustic roots and sun-soaked Australian storytelling. With heartfelt tracks like "Biding My Time" and "Sound of Summer," he's become known for songs that feel like long drives, salt air and late-night campfire sessions. With this year's release of his debut solo album Rockhampton Hangover, recorded with Ben Kweller at his studio ranch in Texas, Tom dives deep into life's ups and downs — love and loss, and finding the courage to be real — sharing his laid-back warmth and storyteller's spirit with audiences around Australia.

Dylan Hammond, vocalist and bass player of Sun Salute, is a multi-instrumentalist whose music comes from a place of curiosity and experimentation. Never one to sit still in a single sound, he follows the songs wherever they want to go - right he’s exploring new songs while also revisiting his first album Treading Water. A familiar face on the Whitsunday music scene, Dylan brings an easy warmth and a restless creative spirit to the stage.
