Mary Gauthier is a survivor with a remarkable life story.  
She was abandoned as a baby, she ran away from her adoptive parents in her teens, battled with alcohol and drugs before settling down to a philosophy degree, opening a Cajun restaurant and then, in her thirties, changing tack to become a singer/songwriter on the folk and country circuit. This incredible story has been a source of inspiration for her narrative torch songs.
Her latest album "The Foundling", however, comes from somewhere deeper: it deals with the grief of abandonment, her quest for her identity and her biological mother. One could detect raw, brave edges in her earlier songs like 'Sugar Cane' and 'Camelot Motel', but the involvement of Michael Timmins (Cowboy Junkies) as her producer has placed her highly personal songs in a delicate and moving ambience, in which her acoustic guitar playing is supported by accordion, violin, keyboards and slide guitar. The result is a courageous and profound piece of work.  

Support: Ben Glover (N. Ireland)
We detect the unmistakeable influence of the classical art of storytelling in Ben Glover’s songs. His lyrics are such accurate slices of life that you can almost touch the characters. He presents them with a rare passion and a gripping, tender voice.

In our lifes we all have been suffering through our share of loss, pain and (dis)illusions. But it all pales in the shadows of what Mary Gauthier has been through. By exposing herself she makes "The Foundling" very exceptional and powerful. We all can get a lot of country energy out of this evening!
