Mary Gauthier

A regular on Grand Ole Opry, Mary Gauthier has had songs recorded by Tim McGraw, Blake Shelton, Jimmy Buffett, Bobby Bare Sr., Bettye Lavette, Amy Helm, Mike Farris and many others. Eight albums into her career, she was named, “One of Americana’s most admired artists across the US and around the world,” by The Wall Street Journal, noting her “razor-sharp eye for detail and her commitment to unsentimental self-reflection. Nominated by The Americana Music Association for Record of the year, her latest album, “Rifles & Rosary Beads, ” is a collection of songs she co-wrote with US Veterans over the last five years through Songwriting With Soldiers, a non-profit that offers Veterans a chance to work with professional songwriters. The songs tell the story of the affect war has had on the Americans who’ve served, and their families. Entertainment Weekly named it one of the 10 best records of the year. SPECIAL GUEST JAIMEE HARRIS
