SUMMARY:Mary Gauthier w/ special guest Jaimee Harris
DESCRIPTION:About Mary Gauthier\nAs she has so eloquently accomplished over the past 25 years\, acclaimed singer-songwriter Mary Gauthier has used her art once again to traverse the uncharted waters of the past few years. “I’m the kind of songwriter who writes what I see in the world right now\,” she affirms. Thankfully\, amid dark storms of pandemic loss\, she found and followed the beacon of new love: Her gift to us\, the powerful Dark Enough to See the Stars\, collects ten sparkling jewels of Gauthier songcraft reflecting both love and loss. \nHer eleventh album\, Dark Enough to See the Stars\, follows the profound antidote to trauma\, Rifles & Rosary Beads\, her 2018 collaborative work with wounded Iraq war veterans. It garnered a Grammy nomination for Best Folk Album\, as well as a nomination for Album of the Year by the Americana Music Association. Publication of her first book\, the illuminating Saved by a Song: The Art and Healing Power of Songwriting\, in 2021\, brought her more praise. Brandi Carlile has said\, “Mary’s songwriting speaks to the tender aspects of our humanness. We need her voice in times like these more than we ever have.” The Associated Press called Gauthier “one of the best songwriters of her generation.” \nGauthier’s early work\, which began at 35\, reflected her newfound sobriety\, delving into events from a troubled life\, which persisted after she became a renowned chef in Boston. Dark Enough to See the Stars returns Gauthier to the scintillating confessional mode on such albums as her breakthrough release\, 2005’s Mercy Now\, as well as such ear worms as the hook-laden “Drag Queens in Limousines.” In addition to crafting instantly memorable songs\, Gauthier has never shied away from difficult self-exploration\, as with 2010’s The Foundling\, on which she explored the repercussions of her adoption from a New Orleans orphanage and subsequent search for her birth mother. \n \nGauthier’s partner\, Jaimee Harris\, who sings harmony throughout the album\, co-wrote the paean to one of Gauthier’s favorite cities. “I have a long history with Amsterdam\,” Gauthier recounts. “My first record deal was on a Dutch label\, and I tour there regularly\, and much of Mercy Now was written at my favorite hotel there.” A canceled flight to Denmark landed Gauthier and Harris in Amsterdam for an unexpected three days during the pandemic. “To return to that hotel and be able to share that with the person I love and show her the city…\,” Gauthier pauses. “It’s complicated – because all around the edges was the pandemic. But you’ve got to express your joy – a joy that’s not free from pain. There’s grief all around us\, but there’s this ability to still love and still be aware that the sky is beautiful and the hand that I’m holding is filled with love…”
