About this Event

Mary Gauthier was twelve years old when she taught herself to play guitar with a Mel Bay basic guitar workbook. Songs became lifelines to her, and she longed to write her own, one day. Then, for a decade, while struggling with addiction, her call to songwriting faded. It wasn't until she got sober and went to an open mic with a friend that she realized that she not only still wanted to write songs, she needed to. Gauthier has channeled a long line of eloquent works, including the achingly beautiful, "Mercy Now." The Associated Press named Mary Gauthier one of the best songwriters of her generation. Her album Rifles & Rosary Beads was nominated for a Grammy award. Her songs have been recorded by dozens of artists, including Boy George, Blake Shelton, Tim McGraw, Bettye Lavette, Kathy Mattea, Amy Helm and Candi Staton. Mary's first book, "Saved by a Song: The Art and Healing Power of Songwriting" is part memoir, part philosophy of art, and part songwriting nuts-and-bolts. The book celebrates the power of song to inspire and bring seemingly different kinds of people together. www.marygauthier.com

Mary will also present 3 songs in the Sunday 10am service at Grass Lake United Methodist Church on 12/15/24.
