Grammy-nominated American folk singer-songwriter and author Mary Gauthier is celebrated for her ability to craft deeply human songs that resonate across generations and genres. Her work has been covered by artists including Tim McGraw, Blake Shelton, Kathy Mattea, Jimmy Buffett, Boy George, Bettye LaVette, Candi Staton, and Amy Helm. Gauthier's songs often explore themes of marginalisation, shaped by her personal journey through adoption, addiction and recovery, and growing up gay in the Deep South. Her gift lies in transforming trauma into powerful, communal storytelling—captured in lines like “we could all use, a little mercy, now” from her signature song Mercy Now. Her acclaimed 2018 album Rifles & Rosary Beads, co-written with military veterans and their families, was nominated for a Grammy and hailed as a landmark in collaborative songwriting and healing through music. Gauthier has received numerous accolades, including awards from the Americana Music Association, International Folk Music Awards, Independent Music Awards, GLAMA Awards, and the UK Americana Association. She is also the author of Saved by a Song—a fabled book that blends memoir, songwriting philosophy, and practical insight. It celebrates the redemptive power of music and its unique ability to unite and inspire. Don't miss this powerful night of music and storytelling, with special guest Jaimee Harris.
