Darren D.C Cross - Instrumental Ecstatic Folk Guitarist (Gerling/ Jep and Dep).
Event description
Darren will play a carefully curated 2 set shows drawing from his five solo D.C Cross albums, shining a light on the Terabithian (2020) and his most recent album "Glookies Guit" (2024), both critically acclaimed records and released on his own No Drums Records.
Cross previously of Sydney trailblazers Gerling and folk Noir Duo Jep and Dep, has knuckled down for the last 8 years specializing in the fingerstyle hybrid of what he calls Australian Ecstatic Guitar, the sweet spot between Doc Watson Bluegrass, British Folk revival and American Primitive guitar. In the tradition of Leo Kottke, John Fahey, Nick Drake, Elizabeth Cotton and Mississipi John Hurt but forging a unique Australian perspective on the genre.
"Cross is emerging as an important voice among the modern players who continue to find new territory in the world of guitar discovered by John Fahey (who, of course, also experimented with found sounds and electronics). With the release of two fine albums in so short a time, he seems to be on a creative tear. Fans of Bachman, Isasa, Jones, Rolin, et al., take note". - Jim Marks, Dusted Magazine.
