Gillian Welch & David Rawlings

They have been hailed by Pitchfork as "modern master of American folk" and "protecters of the American folk song" by Rolling Stone and the New York Times says "their combined voices operate beyond simple sonic harmony. There are emotional inquiries at play. If Welch's voice delivers the good or the hard news of the world, Rawlings's voice comes underneath, asking how much deeper the sadness can go or what fresh heights the ecstatic can climb to." Their most recent 10th studio album, Woodland, won the 2025 Best Folk Album Grammy. Woodland was named for an recorded at Welch and Rawlings own Woodland Sound Studios in Nashville, TN. Of the album and studio, Welch said "Woodland is at the heart of everything we do and has been for the last twenty some years."
