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 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.
"To see Darren D. C. Cross. And what a show it was! An incredibly impressive display of solo acoustic guitar. Darren himself calls his fingerpickin’ style Australian bluegrass and he makes no secret of the inspiration he’s derived from avant acoustic guitarists like Leo Kottke and the Takoma Records school of the likes of John Fahey and Robbie Basho. One point about which kind of music is – if you can’t play it, you can’t do it. There’s nowhere to hide”.
