Mary Gauthier with Tania Elizabeth
"…Gauthier's songs startle with authority and detail. If she keeps this up, one day she may assume the mantle of Johnny Cash…" —New York Daily News
The sense of autobiography has always loomed large in the work of Mary Gauthier. On her newest album, The Foundling, her first concept album, Mary opens the door on the defining circumstance of her life, the emotional journey and aftermath of finding the mother who surrendered her in New Orleans after her birth in March 1962 (the month Bob Dylan released his first album, to put a perspective on it).
Born in Thibodaux, Louisiana, Mary's travels took her from a Kansas City jail cell to the Louisiana State University philosophy department to the successful Boston restaurant she owned, and all of these experiences color her songs about the downside of American life. She is now firmly established as a songwriter, with six groundbreaking albums of original songs, more than a dozen years of recording and touring around the world, a harvest of music industry awards, and covers of her songs by a roster of great artists.
Tania Elizabeth will accompany Mary on 5-string fiddle.
