Mary Gauthier has been enjoying great success in Australia with the release of her new album The Foundling. With invitations to appear on Spicks N Specks and RocKwiz, airplay and appearances on radio stations from Radio National & the ABC, community radio from Hobart to Brisbane and Perth to Melbourne, alongside interviews with The Age, Sydney Morning Herald, The Sunday Mail (SA) and street press nationally, the support has been phenomenal to say the least.

Her Brunswick Music Festival gig was packed to the rafters, and Mary and guitarist Ed Romanoff (www.edromanoff.com) are really excited about the remaining shows on her Australian tour.




“Rarely does one see such a powerful and affecting performance as that which Mary Gauthier performed last night at Brunswick Town Hall.”
- Cat Politics www.catpolitics.blogspot.com

The Foundling, out now thru Planet/MGM and 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.”



Tickets to all shows are on sale now.
