Description
On ‘Dark Enough To See The Stars’, Gauthier mourns the loss of dear friends that include John Prine, Nanci Griffith and David Olney, but she takes a slightly different course by offering an optimistic side of herself with songs that celebrate the joy of new love and personal contentment.
Over the course of eight studio albums, Mary Gauthier has firmly planted herself as a truth teller, a songwriter unafraid to dive into the emotional core of her chosen subject. Her poignant songs move people deeply and often evoke an emotive response. It is one of the many things that connect her so deeply to her fans, and why they love her.
‘Dark Enough to See the Stars’ is the follow-up to Gauthier’s powerful 2018 album ‘Rifles & Rosary Beads’, which was co-written with U.S. veterans and their families and served to help them cope with the trauma experienced both abroad and at home. The album received a Grammy nomination for “Best Folk Album” and won “Album Of The Year” at the International Folk Music Awards (Folk Alliance).
*We were so blessed & honoured to host an instore for Mary when she toured Australia for the first time (many years ago now).
