Biography:
Gillian Howard Welch (born October 2, 1967 in New York City) is an American singer-songwriter. She performs with her musical partner, guitarist
David Rawlings. Welch's musical style combines elements of
bluegrass, neotraditional
country,
americana, old time string band music, and
folk into a rustic style that she dubs "American Primitive". Her music is often described as haunting or soothing. Welch was adopted when she was three days old. She moved to Los Angeles at the age of four. By the age of seven, she had learned to play the guitar.
