Gillian Welch & David Rawlings Announce “Gillian Welch & David Rawlings Play Grateful Dead Acoustic Reckoning” April Tour Dates

Gillian Welch and David Rawlings have announced their “Gillian Welch & David Rawlings Play Grateful Dead Acoustic Reckoning” tour.

Welch shared this about the new tour dates, “The Grateful Dead flirted with acoustic music throughout their career, until they released the Reckoning album, 45 years ago.  We have flirted with Grateful Dead music throughout our career, until this anniversary was suggested as a good reason to book these shows. We know the Dead’s music is a mountain, and we’re hoping to start up from base camp this Spring in celebration of their legacy.” The 6-date April tour will include three shows at Port Chester, NY’s The Capitol Theatre, two dates at Oakland, CA’s Fox Theater, and one show at New Orleans, LA’s Saenger Theatre. Additionally, the duo will return to Newport Folk Festival, where they closed the festival in 2024, to perform their “Grateful Dead Acoustic Reckoning” show on July 25th. Tickets for these new headlining dates will go on sale here on Friday, February 13 at 10am local.
