D.C Cross

Open Guitar (Volume One) marks a return of sorts to a simpler sound for D.C Cross, celebrating peace through acoustic mastery. Blending improvisation with composition, the album offers spacious, meditative soundscapes. From the urban nature-infused Antwerp Kangaroo to the epic NEVER GIVE UP OR IN., Cross displays a lightness of touch that proves calm can be found within chaos. A welcome, honest gesture.

Australian guitarist D.C Cross has released a live album, a recording of a recent gig at Red House in Earlwood, Sydney, a venue run by Nick Shimmin, who also ran People’s Republic. As the notes to this release reveal, recording a live album always comes with some trepidation, but this gig went without a hitch. Take a listen to ‘No Old Man’.

Taken from his latest album, Glookies Guit, watch the accompanying short film to Australian guitarist D.C Cross’s new single, ‘Rhinestones, in Black and White’, also our Tune of the Day.

Glookies Guit, D.C Cross’s latest offering, encourages deciphering of song titles and deep listening. A musically rich acoustic guitar album of both depth and character, it’s undoubtedly his most accomplished work to date.

Australian guitar whizz D.C Cross has shared a video for ‘A Harebrained Adventure of An Amateur Shaman’, directed by Steve Hanft. The results speak for themselves, an experimental and adventurous collaboration…a total gem.

D.C Cross’s Wizrad: Adventures into Ecstatic Guitar is a must for fans of the more experimental and adventurous side of the solo acoustic genre, as well as those who enjoy serious acoustic guitar flexing.

Watch Australian guitarist Darren “D.C” Cross performing “Brumby”, a track that is featured on the new album ‘Solstice: A Tribute to Steffen Basho-Junghans’, which was curated by Buck Curran.

Andrew Tuttle’s latest album single is ‘New Breakfast Habit’, on which he is joined by Luke Schneider on pedal steel and Darren Cross on acoustic guitar. This is music you want to wake to and the accompanying video is a beautiful visual response to that.

Our tune of the day comes from Australian finger-style guitarist D.C Cross. Watch him performing ‘Lithgow Pink’ from his new album ‘Hot-wire the Lay-low’. A player with plenty to say and all the skills to say it.

Australian picker Darren Cross’s third album of solo guitar music comes from a place of travel and solitude; harnessing life’s recent restrictions and finding art in simplicity during the strangest time most of us can remember.
