Unnamed Road

Jon Rose & Erik Griswold

Saturday 22 March 2025
Stanthorpe Regional Art Gallery

To celebrate the release of their first duo album, Unnamed Road, improvisers violinist Jon Rose and pianist Erik Griswold toured Australia in 2025, performing in Brisbane, Stanthorpe, Moree, Sydney, Canberra, Adelaide, Melbourne, Tara and Alice Springs.

Unnamed Road is a first musical meeting between two Australian innovators, featuring Jon Rose’s tenor and regular violins and Erik Griswold’s prepared piano. The music swings from high energy rhythmic exchanges to dark lyricism; from dense pointillism to moody expressionism, raw percussive, sonic, and textural exploration. Jon and Erik bring out the best in each other; challenging one another to find an extra gear or to follow the unexpected path.
