Legendary folk singer-songwriter Mary Gauthier returns to Ireland performing work from her most recent album Dark Enough to See the Stars along with highlights from her 30 year career.
Her first recording of all original songs in over 8 years, it follows her 2018 release Rifles & Rosary Beads, a 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.
Mary’s first book, the illuminating Saved by a Song: The Art and Healing Power of Songwriting was published in 2021. 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.”
