Gillian Welch and David Rawlings in Portland

Gillian Welch and David Rawlings bring their celebrated partnership to Portland for an evening of spare, deeply American music. The duo's sound blends Appalachian, bluegrass, country, and Americana into what The New Yorker calls "at once innovative and obliquely reminiscent of past rural forms." Fans can expect a set drawn from their nine critically acclaimed albums, including the Grammy-winning *All the Good Times (Are Past & Gone)* and *Woodland*.

Welch and Rawlings have been performing together since the early 1990s, when they discovered their voices harmonized perfectly on "Long Black Veil." Their shows are known for intimate, stripped-down arrangements that highlight their intricate guitar work and close harmonies.
