Soirée: Raku O'Gaia at Deck Acoustics

Raku O'Gaia brings his dynamic groove-laden rhythms to Deck Acoustics.

Beginning in the depths of London’s Underground Subways, Raku O'Gaia honed his skills in the volatile world of workingmen’s pubs, clubs and bars across Europe, England and Australia. O’Gaia has become a one-of-a-kind singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist, and a classic tunes-smith with several diverse and uplifting releases to his name.

His dynamic groove-laden rhythms on guitar, mouth-harp, slide guitar and assorted percussion move from toe tapping country-funk to transcendental blues, road-ready rock’n’roll, heart-rending ballads and even a sprinkling vibe toting reggae all in the service of the most positive and inspiring songs played back to back...anywhere.

Raku has featured at multiple Bluesfests and has held the stage with Archie Roach, John Butler, Xavier Rudd, Pete Murray and other iconic Australian artists.
