Let's make this birthday one to remember.

57 years old (Born on October 12, 1967)

Happy Birthday, Gillian Welch! May your day be filled with more harmony than a perfectly tuned banjo and sweeter moments than the chorus of "Look at Miss Ohio." Your timeless melodies continue to resonate deeply—proving that good music never goes out of style. From soulful ballads like "Revelator" to heartfelt storytelling in “Orphan Girl,” you've given us countless reasons to smile (and occasionally cry).

Here's hoping this year brings you as much joy as your Grammy-winning collaborations and sold-out shows have brought fans worldwide. Keep strumming those strings; after all, birthdays are just life's encore performances!
