Gillian Welch & David Rawlings

Gillian Welch and David Rawlings have spent three decades as one of American music's closest partnerships, two guitars and two voices working a catalog of their own that runs from Revival through The Harrow & The Harvest. In 2026 they took up the Grateful Dead's Reckoning for its forty-fifth anniversary — the 1981 live album drawn from the band's acoustic sets at the Warfield and Radio City — and toured it as a headlining acoustic run, opening with three nights at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester and reaching the Fox in Oakland and the Saenger in New Orleans. Their reading is the album's own: no drums, no amplification to speak of, the songs carried on close harmony and Rawlings' archtop.
