Gillian Welch and David Rawlings bring Woodland Tour to Orlando on Jan. 17, 2027
The acoustic duo, hailed as modern masters of American folk, will bring their 25-year partnership to the stage in Orlando.
The rich and remarkable careers of Gillian Welch and David Rawlings have made them essential pillars of modern acoustic music. That widely acknowledged reality was reinforced when their most recent album, Woodland, won the 2025 Grammy Award for Best Folk Album.
Welch describes the music of Woodland as “a swirl of contradictions, emptiness, fullness, joy, grief, destruction, permanence. Now.” The duo’s signature sound is tinged with lovely lyricism and emotional intensity.
Now to celebrate their latest release, singer-songwriting duo Gillian Welch and David Rawlings are taking the album on the road with an extensive 2027 tour,
The Woodland Tour includes a show in Orlando with the duo taking to the stage at The Plaza Live on January 17, 2027.

The Americana duo have created a distinctive and enduring partnership in contemporary music, taking influences from traditional Appalachian, bluegrass, country and folk music within their discography, and audiences on their new tour can of course expect to hear music from their album Woodland, including Empty Trainload of Sky, What We Had and Lawman, as well as older songs such as Oh Babe It Ain’t No Lie and Señor.
Gillian Welch and David Rawlings are pillars of the modern acoustic music world and their rich and remarkable careers span over twenty-five years. They have been hailed by Pitchfork as “modern masters of American folk” and “protectors of the American folk song” by Rolling Stone and the New York Times says “their combined voices operate beyond simple sonic harmony. There are emotional inquiries at play. If Welch’s voice delivers the good news or the hard news of the world, Rawlings’s voice comes underneath, asking how much deeper the sadness can go or what fresh heights the ecstatic can climb to.”
Their most recent 10th studio album, Woodland, won the 2025 Best Folk Album GRAMMY. Woodland was named for and recorded at Welch and Rawlings’ own Woodland Sound Studios in Nashville, TN. Of the album and studio, Welch 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
