VINCENT CROSS LIVE @ THE BUG (9pm slot)

Vincent Cross is a rustic folk troubadour rooted in Ireland and Australia, now based in New York City. Praised by Big City Rhythm and Blues as “impeccably gifted,” Cross blends poetic songwriting with a deep reverence for tradition.

He’s inspired by 60s folk icons like Guthrie, and Dylan—artists whose spirit echoes through his music. Cross has released four albums, including Old Songs For Modern Folk, which reached #2 on the International Folk DJ Chart.

His 2020 historical concept album, The Life & Times of James “The Rooster” Corcoran, received acclaim from Pop Matters and Brooklyn Vegan. His upcoming fifth album, A Place Where Songs Come to Live, arrives in June 2025, featuring the award nominated single “In the Eyes of My Father.” A finalist in the International Acoustic Music Awards.

Cross' essays and writings on the songwriting process have been published in Voices: The Journal of New York Folklore & he performs internationally having graced the stages of major folk festivals across the US, Europe, and Australia.
