Mary Gauthier
 Mary Gauthier's story is as compelling as her music. Her path has wound through devastation and despair. She has beaten back demons, lived off the streets, sunk to the bottom of life, turned 18 behind bars, emerged from darkness, and to completely confuse things won notice as a respected restaurateur - all before writing her first song. Without warning, Mary found herself, for the first time, writing songs. She says 'It was like, bam, two neurons touched, fused, connected, and the next thing you know I'm obsessed with getting words down in a song to make sense of all this, to try and understand my own life.' And so Mary Gauthier wrote her first song, when she was finally clean and sober. She was 35 years old. No one was more surprised than Mary when her first CD, Dixie Kitchen earned her a Boston Music Award nomination for 'best new contemporary folk artist' then the second album, Drag Queens in Limousines saw Rolling Stone give it a four-star rave, MOJO, Q, Gavin Report, and other publications then joined in on the chorus There's no explanation for the album Mercy Now, for these are songs and stories that can change your life. 'Every living thing could use a little mercy now . I love life and life itself could use some mercy now.' More information about Mary Gauthier can be found at: www.marygauthier.com
