[AMERICANA] This Thursday, November 5 get cozy at Babeville’s Asbury Hall as Americana veteran Dave Rawlings performs as part of an international tour in support of his recently released album Nashville Obsolete. Created with long time musical partner, Gillian Welch, the collection of spine tingling country ballads was released in September just after the duo received the “Lifetime Achievement Award for for Songwriting” from the Americana Music Association. Needless to say, Rawlings and Welch both have impressive resumes. Aside from their work together on Nashville Obsolete and their 2009 record, A Friend of a Friend, Rawlings has worked with well-known acts such as Old Crow Medicine Show, Ryan Adams, and Bright Eyes, while Welsh has worked with famed folks artists like Ani DiFranco and the Decemberists. When Welch and Rawlings join forces with a crop of talented peers including Willie Watson on guitar and Paul Kowert on bass, they form the Dave Rawlings Machine, a band that’s been hailed as “one of the hottest string bands on the planet.”
