In the early 90's, Gillian Welch, born in Manhattan and raised in Los Angeles, attended the Berklee School of Music in Boston where she began performing her own material, as well as traditional country and bluegrass songs, as part of a duo with fellow student David Rawlings.
After college, Gillian first appeared on the folk scene as a singer/songwriter armed with a voice and sensibility far beyond her years, earning widespread acclaim for her deft, evocative resurrection of the musical styles most commonly associated with rural Appalachia of the early 20th century. She will perform as part of Humphreys Concerts by the Bay. (800-745-3000, www.ticketmaster.com)
