“With songwriting as powerful as hers, there’s no need to go looking for qualifiers. She’s a unique, intrinsically valuable musical voice. And there’s never a surplus of those.”

— Randy Lewis, Los Angeles Time

As she has so eloquently accomplished over the past 25 years, acclaimed singer-songwriter Mary Gauthier has used her art once again to traverse the uncharted waters of the past few years. Amid pandemic loss, she found and followed the beacon of new love: her 2022 record, Dark Enough to See the Stars.

Dark Enough to See the Stars, follows the profound, Rifles & Rosary Beads, her 2018 collaborative work with Iraq war veterans. Garnering a Grammy nomination for Best Folk Album and nomination for Album of the Year by the AMA. Gauthier celebrates the 25th anniversary of her seminal release, Drag Queens and Limousines with a first run of vinyl and tour. Brandi Carlile has said, “Mary’s songwriting speaks to the tender aspects of our humanness. We need her voice in times like these more than we ever have.”

The Associated Press named Mary Gauthier as one of the best songwriters of her generation. Her songs have been recorded by dozens of artists, including Jimmy Buffett, Blake Shelton, Tim McGraw, Bettye Lavette Mike Farris, Amy Helm and Candi Staton, and have appeared extensively in Film and Television, most recently on Yellowstone, ABC’s Nashville, HBO’s Banshee, and Masterpiece Theater’s Case Histories. Her second album, Filth and Fire was named Best Independent CD of the year by the New York Times. She was signed to Universal Lost Highway, and her following 3 records were listed in both the LA Times and NY Times top three releases of the year. Her record Mercy Now was named in the top 5 records of the decade by No Depression magazine. She was awarded New Artist of the year by The Americana Music Association in 2005. Mary has released 9 studio albums.
