Dave Rawlings Machine
Published 8:00 am Tuesday, February 9, 2010
Over the years, Gillian Welchs longtime guitarist and collaborator Dave Rawlings has played for and collaborated with some of Americanas most heralded performers Welch, obviously, but also Ryan Adams and Old Crow Medicine Show and produced some of their best records. But after releasing his first album, A Friend of a Friend, last November, Rawlings is finding out what its like to be a frontman for the first time in his esteemed career. If Im producing a record or doing some engineering or playing guitar, all these things come more naturally to me than being a frontperson, he explained in an interview with SW (you can read the entire transcript of our interview with Rawlings on our music blog, Reverb.) No surprise, then, that hes touring with a band of all-stars: Gillian Welch and OCMS members Ketch Secor, Morgan Jahnig and Willie Watson will all join him onstage for this special Valentines Day performance. All ages. SARA BRICKNER
