The guitar duo cast a spell over a rapt audience with wistful songs evoking open skies and yearning that even the final house lights can’t dispel
There’s palpable anticipation among the crowd at tonight’s sold-out auditorium, a buzzing throng of fans spanning several generations. The last time Gillian Welch and David Rawlings were on UK turf was back in 2011, touring the superb “The Harrow & the Harvest” album, so it’s been a lengthy wait for their return.
The Wang Theatre in Boston, Massachusetts, opened as simply The Met in 1925. Celebrating 100 years of entertainment and now home to the Folk Americana Roots Hall of Fame, it was only fitting that Gillian Welch and David Rawlings should play here during this auspicious year.
