For over three decades,
Gillian Welch and
David Rawlings have performed timeless music. Their sparse and dark musical style, which combines elements of
Appalachian music,
bluegrass,
country , and
Americana, is described by
The New Yorker as "at once innovative and obliquely reminiscent of past rural forms."
Welch and Rawlings have collaborated on nine critically acclaimed albums, five released under her name, three released under Rawlings' name, and two under both of their names.
