It was a perfect spring evening for an outdoor concert Wednesday night at Guthrie Green, when world-renowned folk duo Gillian Welch and David Rawlings took the stage. 

A nearly full moon rose over the public park and passed behind the BOK Tower as the duo played the only free concert on their U.S. tour in support of their Grammy Award-winning album “Woodland.”
