Mary Gauthier

Mary Gauthier has been named by The Associated Press as one of the best songwriters of her generation. Her most recent musical release, Rifles & Rosary Beads, a collection of songs co-written with wounded veterans was nominated for a Grammy award for Best Folk Album, and Record of the Year by the Americana Music Association. The UK Americana Association named Mary their 2019 International Artist of the Year, and Folk Alliance International named Rifles & Rosary Beads the 2019 Record of the Year.

Mary is also a published author, and Rolling Stone said, “Mary Gauthier’s book ‘Saved by a Song’ Is a Must-Read Music Book. The Grammy-nominated songwriter dissects her brutally honest songs and preaches the “magnificence of empathy” in a memoir that is just right for these times.”

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. They have also appeared extensively in film and Television, most recently on HBO TV’s Yellowstone.
