The Dave Rawlings Machine

w/ Phil Schaffart

No matter how many times you hear David Rawlings play his trademark 1935 Epiphone Olympic archtop guitar, you’ll ask yourself the same thing listeners have been asking for years: How does he do that? Best known as the longtime musical partner of singer-songwriter Gillian Welch, David Rawlings’ graceful instrumentation and seamless harmonies have long earned him the respect of musicians and fans alike. His knack for meticulously crafted arrangements helped earn a Grammy nomination as producer for Gillian Welch’s Time (The Revelator). He went on to produce Gillian’s 2003 release Soul Journey as well as records by Old Crow Medicine Show and Robyn Hitchcock.
