The Dave Rawlings Machine, fronted by long-time musical partner of Americana singer songwriter Gillian Welch, are to play an exclusive Irish debut at this year’s Open House Festival in Belfast on Saturday 11th September. Sharing the stage will be musical compadres, Old Crow Medicine Show, creating the perfect union of “old-time string music and punk swagger.”
