Thursday, March 19
Dave Rawlings Machine & Gillian Welch at Largo at the Coronet
Gillian Welch’s long-time collaborator stops by for an evening of loose folk, country and rock originals and cover songs, with Welch appearing in a supporting role. Rawlings, whose voice is as strong and honest playing lead as it is tender and complementary in the role of Welch’s foil when she’s in charge, has an encyclopedic knowledge of American music, and possesses the carefree confidence of a seasoned guitar player whose strings are extensions of his arms. This Thursday-night show could be special for one very specific reason: With the entire music industry in Texas for South by Southwest, the evening offers a rare opportunity to see musicians create without sharing seats or oxygen with jive-asses and judgmental types.
