Gauthier began writing songs relatively late in life, and her early work explores her troubled past and journey to sobriety. Her songwriting has earned her numerous awards and accolades – including a Grammy nomination – and The Associated Press called her “one of the best songwriters of her generation.” Mary’s book, Saved by a Song: The Art and Healing Power of Songwriting, tells the story of her personal growth and how, in her words, “songs can bring us a deep understanding of each other and ourselves…and open the heart to love.” Her eleventh album, Dark Enough To See The Stars, is out now.
