Dave Rawlings is an award winning guitar player, singer, songwriter, and producer best known for his work with bandmate Gillian Welch, Old Crow Medicine Show, and Ryan Adams. He was voted 2012 Americana Instrumentalist Of The Year.
Featuring Welch, Punch Brothers' Paul Kowert on bass, fiddler Brittany Haas (formerly of Crooked Still and Darol Anger's Republic of String), and former Old Crow Medicine Show member Willie Watson, the current touring iteration of the Dave Rawlings Machine features distinctive picking, high lonesome songs, and many other fine acoustic entertainments that cross genres.
The band joined us in JPR's Redding studio for the session ahead of their performance at the Cascade Theatre.
