Welch and Rawlings are currently on their 34-date headlining tour, and will perform two nights at Carnegie Hall this week, as well as shows in Boston, Nashville, and Seattle. Tickets for all remaining dates are available here. Welch and Rawlings’ 10th studio album, Woodland, is out now on all formats. Woodland was named for and recorded at Welch and Rawlings’ own Woodland Sound Studios in Nashville, TN. Of the album and studio, they said, “Woodland is at the heart of everything we do and has been for the last twenty some years. The past four years were spent almost entirely within its walls, bringing it back to life after the 2020 tornado and making this record. The music is (songs are) a swirl of contradictions, emptiness, fullness, joy, grief, destruction, permanence. Now.” The new 10-song collection mingles full band tracks with intricate duet performances all tied together with the duo’s signature sound and lyricism and cements the pair’s iconoclastic position at the forefront of acoustic music. Woodland is the duo’s first album since 2020’s All the Good Times, a collection of covers and classic folk songs which earned the duo the 2021 GRAMMY Award for Best Folk Album, and their first album of new original music since 2017’s Poor David’s Almanack. The vinyl edition of Woodland is mastered by David Rawlings directly from the original analog master tapes to his custom Neumann VMS-80 lathe. Acony Records is proud to be partnering with the all-new Paramount Pressing & Plating, a joint venture between Rawlings and esteemed plating craftsman Gary Salstrom, to produce superior vinyl records. Paramount Pressing, located in Denver, CO and built from the ground up from Salstrom's specifications, is dedicated to producing the highest quality vinyl records available, using state of the art Pheenix Alpha and Vinyl presses and the experience of some of the greatest record pressing engineers and record producers in the business.   GILLIAN WELCH & DAVID RAWLINGS- WOODLAND TRACK LISTING   Empty Trainload Of Sky What We Had Lawman The Bells And The Birds North Country Hashtag The Day The Mississippi Died Turf The Gambler Here Stands A Woman Howdy Howdy   GILLIAN WELCH & DAVID RAWLINGS TOUR DATES May 7 – New York, NY – Carnegie Hall – Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage May 8 – New York, NY – Carnegie Hall – Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage May 10 – Boston, MA – Wang Theatre – Boch Center May 11 – New London, CT – Garde Theater May 13 – Charlottesville, VA – The Paramount Theater May 22 – Nashville, TN – Ryman Auditorium May 23 – Nashville, TN – Ryman Auditorium June 16 – Boulder, CO at Chautauqua Auditorium June 17 – Denver, CO at Paramount Theatre June 22 – Salt Lake City, UT at Capitol Theatre June 23 – Boise, ID at Egyptian Theatre June 25 – Portland, OR at Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall June 26 – Seattle, WA at Woodland Park Zoo June 27 – Spokane, WA at Fox Theatre
