Gillian Welch will play the Peace Center on Monday, April 9, at 8 p.m. At this concert, Welch and her musical partner, David Rawlings, will perform two full sets of music with no opener.

Welch’s 2011 album, The Harrow & The Harvest, was nominated for a Grammy® Award for Best Engineered Album (Non Classical) and Best Folk Album. It was highly praised by critics worldwide, including Uncut magazine, who called The Harrow & The Harvest a “timeless country classic.” NPR Music proclaimed that the album “grabs the attention of a new generation” and The AV Club said, “Welch and longtime partner David Rawlings are flawless.”

Welch and Rawlings have recorded eight studio albums and have lent their talents to countless fellow artists’ recordings. In August, Welch and Rawlings released their latest collaboration, David Rawlings’ Poor David’s Almanack, a wry mixture of acoustic and electric music rich in ageless American vernacular. The album of 10 new songs was engineered by studio wizards Ken Scott (The Beatles, David Bowie) and Matt Andrews on analog tape during a week of sessions at the legendary Woodland Sound Studios in Nashville, Tenn.

In recognition of their remarkable careers, Welch and Rawlings were honored with the Americana Lifetime Achievement Award for Songwriting in 2015 and the Berklee American Masters Award in 2016.
