Get ready to keep it tropical when Australian/Samoan musician Bobby Alu brings his laid-back rhythms, island flavor, and feel-good sound to the Arcata Playhouse.

A singer, songwriter, drummer, and ukulele player, Bobby Alu blends roots music with rhythm, soul, pop, and Polynesian influences. His music is built for moving, swaying, and taking things a little slower, bringing the sounds of the Pacific and a distinctly sunny outlook to audiences around the world.

With his latest album, Keep It Tropical, Alu continues to bring his signature easygoing energy to the stage. Expect warm rhythms, soulful songs, and plenty of good vibes from an artist whose music invites audiences to kick back, relax, and enjoy the flow.

Bobby Alu's appearance is part of the Arcata Playhouse's ongoing International Music Series, bringing artists from around the world to Humboldt County.
