Mary Gauthier
2010 Australian Tour
Acclaimed American singer/songwriter Mary Gauthier (pronounced “go-shay”) makes a very welcome return to Australia for a series of performances in conjunction with the release of her new album, The Foundling, an autobiographical song cycle.
The Foundling, produced by Cowboy Junkies’ Michael Timmins, is a song cycle about relinquishment and adoption of which Gauthier says, “I was born to an unwed mother in 1962 and surrendered to St. Vincent’s Women and Infants Asylum on Magazine Street in New Orleans, where I spent my first year. I was subsequently adopted but left my adopted family at 15.
I wandered for years looking for, but never quite finding a place that felt like home. I searched for, found, and was denied a meeting with my birth mother when I was 45 years old. She couldn’t afford to re-open the wound she’d carried her whole life, the wound of surrendering a baby. The Foundling is my story.”
The Foundling will be released March 5th, available through Planet/MGM. Dates include appearances at the Moss Vale Festival, March 13, the Brunswick Festival, March 14, and other venues across the country.
Mary burst onto the US music scene with her outstanding debut album, released at the age of 35. Since then, acclaim has followed Mary Gauthier on every step of her remarkable journey. Her breakthrough album, Mercy Now (2005) was continuously “discovered” and lauded for the two years following its release, earning mentions on a score of year end “best of” lists in ’05, including the Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune and No Depression.
Her most recent release, Between Daylight and Dark (2007) has been called “…a triumph that should catapult her to the forefront of Americana singer/songwriters,” by Paste Magazine and she has been hailed by the Los Angeles Times as “a unique, intrinsically valuable musical voice. And there’s never a surplus of those.”
