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.

Her 11th album, the first record in over eight years consisting of all her own songs, Dark Enough to See the Stars, follows the profound antidote to trauma, Rifles & Rosary Beads, her 2018 collaborative work with wounded Iraq war veterans. It garnered a Grammy nomination for Best Folk Album, as well as a nomination for Album of the Year by the Americana Music Association.

Publication of her first book, the illuminating Saved by a Song: The Art and Healing Power of Songwriting in 2021 brought her more praise. 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 called Gauthier "one of the best songwriters of her generation."

Mary’s songs have been recorded by dozens of artists, including Jimmy Buffett, Dolly Parton, Boy George, Blake Shelton, Tim McGraw, Bettye Lavette, Mike Farris, Kathy Mattea, Bobby Bare, Amy Helm and Candi Staton and have appeared extensively in film and television, most recently on HBO TV’s Yellowstone.
