    Grandfalloon

    Switchyard Park

    3:00- 10:00 pm

    IU Arts and Humanities Presents: Granfalloon Concert Series at Switchyard Park | 1601 S. Rogers St., Bloomington, IN
    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.”
