Mary Gauthier House Concert

Roots Hoot House Concerts is proud as heck to present singer/songwriter/troubadour Mary Gauthier in a rare house concert appearance. When it comes to songwriting, the award-winning Gauthier is an American treasure. Hard hitting songs for hard hit people is the name of an old Hazel Dickens song. It's an apt description for the songs of Gauthier. In conversation and in public, Mary Gauthier comes off as a practical, no-nonsense woman. Stoic, even. Which wouldn't seem unusual, except for the fact that her songs carry so much emotional punch, they can leave you staggering. She has a way of burrowing into that hole so many of us carry inside our souls, and emerging with universal truths that show we aren't so alone after all. But even though her six albums have received countless accolades (2005's Mercy Now earned her the Americana Music Association's New/Emerging Artist of the Year title, and 2011's The Foundling was named the No. 3 Record of the Year by the L.A. Times), Gauthier felt she needed to rack up her pilot hours, so to speak, before she could hit another major milestone: recording a live album. When she was ready, she captured Live at Blue Rock at a concert at the Blue Rock Artist Ranch and Studio in Wimberley, Texas, outside of Austin. It is her latest recording and it's a beauty. Joining Mary for this highly intimate performance will be the duo of guitarist Scott Nolan and drummer Joanna Miller. Don't miss out! This is a BYOB/potluck show which means terrific food to go with an afternoon/evening of great music. Sounds like win-win to us
