For almost 20 years, Darren was guitarist and songwriter with famed Australian band, Powderfinger. Darren has since released 4 more albums and an EP—this time under his own name. Darren’s first solo release, Translations (2013), showcased the breadth of Darren’s musical chops and opened a lot of eyes and ears along the way. The liner notes read like a ‘who’s who’ of the Australian music industry, with guests including Bernard Fanning, Paul Dempsey, Pete Murray, Clare Bowditch and Nic Cester. The follow-up, Splinters (2015), sees Darren experimenting with new sounds, instrumentation and darker moods. The end result is an emotive record with a lot of depth. This time round, he invited along someone by the name of Missy Higgins. Melodic delight ensues. And in late 2016, Darren released a new EP called Lightning Halos, breaking new ground by crowdsourcing a global choir for the title track. Darren's 3rd highly anticipated album 'TIDES' was released Sept 21, 2018 and the followup 'HOME' was released in 2023. As well as new music, Darren has composed for film and TV. Darren is still very active on the live circuit and a big supporter of our upcoming young artists.
