Teenage runaway and addict, philosophy student, restaurateur and now a hugely acclaimed singer songwriter, Louisiana native Mary Gauthier (pronounced Go-Shay) has lived a colourful life that is reflected in her gritty, honest and compassionate songs.
Her most recent albums Drag Queens And Limousines, Filth And Fire and her brilliant latest Mercy Now have received unprecedented praise and earned favourable comparisons with Steve Earle, John Prine and Lucinda Williams.
“Tough as nails in singing about her walks on the wild side as a rebellious youth and wilful adult,... She knows who she is and she doesn’t care if you do, too.” No Depression
“Live, she is mesmerising. Her songs are a strange mix of half-spoken, half-sung talking blues: clever, often laugh-out-loud tales of addicts, victims and losers, of cheap motels and
failed love affairs.”
