Gillian Welch’s rich and remarkable career spans over 25 years, and she and her musical partner David Rawlings are a pillar of the modern acoustic music world. They have been hailed by Pitchfork as “modern masters of American folk” and “protectors of the American folk song” by Rolling Stone. For her work as executive producer as well as a performer and songwriter on the eight-times platinum O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack, Welch was awarded the Album of the Year Grammy, and was simultaneously nominated for her own Time (The Revelator), which Rolling Stone called one of the best albums of the 2000s and is widely considered by critics to be one of the best albums of all time. Welch and Rawlings recently released their 10th studio album, Woodland, a 10-song collection that mingles full band tracks with intricate duet performances, highlighting the duo’s signature sound and lyricism and cementing their iconoclastic position at the forefront of acoustic music.
