March 2022 | Spring is Coming and Gauthier News Update 🍀

Hi Friend,

I just wrapped up my time at The Payton Evans/ Studios of Key West writers residency. I was able to get a few more pages written, one more swim at the MLK Community Pool in Bahama Village, one more fried grouper sandwich on Cuban bread, and one more 8 mile spin along the Atlantic Ocean past the Key West Airport on the rented bicycle before I headed back to Nashville. There is nothing quite like the feeling of doing my work in a place that I love, making new friends, hanging out with old friends, and planning for what is next. I am thrilled to be bringing a new record out into the world in June, and booking new tour dates all over the world to support the release. Announcements of all this coming soon, but for now, thank you! Thank you all for helping me to keep it going all these years and for being on this musical journey with me.


I took the picture of the birds as I was standing on the White Street Pier in Key West.

Excited to bring back my virtual concert series, Sundays With Mary again! Join me on Sunday at 2 pm CST. I'll be playing some of the new songs from my upcoming record. The live streamed show will be on YouTube or Facebook, so you can join in on either platform. Answer this newsletter with a request, and I will try to play it for you!

I have an online class coming up on Sunday, March 20th called The Five Things I've Learned about the Healing Power of Songwriting. I am going to share how songs have a unique power to bring hope in the face of deep trauma. Here are the details and registration information:

For those of you in NY, I'll have a songwriting workshop and a concert at Levon Helm Studios on Saturday, April 16. The workshop will be from 10 am -2 pm. I will talk about the art and craft of songwriting, discuss melody, structure, lyric writing, courage, honesty, and truth. I will also listen to songs and offer feedback to those who want it. Doors for the show: 7:30 pm

See all of the details and get your tickets here for the workshop, the show and workshop, or just the show:

I hope that you all have a great month ahead! Thanks for being on this journey with me.
