David Rawlings

David Rawlings is a guitarist, songwriter, producer, and singer -- mostly in that order -- who plies his trade on a 1935 Epiphone Olympic, for which he's gained a devoted following for getting more action out of the small arch top guitar than most guitarists get out of modern electrics. He is known for his partnership with singer and songwriter Gillian Welch. They were nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song at the 91st Academy Awards for "When a Cowboy Trades His Spurs for Wings" from The Ballad of Buster Scruggs. In 2020, Welch and Rawlings released All the Good Times , which won the 2021 Grammy Award for Best Folk Album.
