Darren “D.C.” Cross
Darren “D.C.” Cross—previously of Gerling and Jep and Dep, and most recently collaborating with Andrew Tuttle live and on their debut album, AT/DC (slated for an October 2026 release via Room40 / Something Good)—is psyched to announce a rare performance of fully improvised guitar music.
His latest 9th solo D.C. Cross album - Open Guitar (Volume 2), features over three hours of improvised acoustic guitar recorded directly in natural environments: mountain tops, beneath flight paths, swamps, lakes, and rivers. Cross uses open tunings and fingerpicking on the acoustic guitar—sometimes tuned to 432 Hz, sometimes not. The album is over 3hours long.
Influenced by Americans like John Fahey, Elizabeth Cotten, Marisa Anderson and early Daniel Bachman, alongside British pickers like Bert Jansch, Nick Drake, and Davy Graham, Cross creates his own uniquely Australian take on the genre, inspired by artists like Dirty Three, Ed Kuepper and The Necks.
Please join Cross and Jetsets for a rare, special night of open-tuned, improvised guitar.
