Mary Gauthier Quotes
I learn something every time I go to work with a veteran. Every single time.
Bernstein, Jonathan. "Mary Gauthier on Her Profound New Album Co-Written With Veterans." Rolling Stone, 26 Jan. 2018.

She has won multiple awards, including at the International Folk Music Awards, the Independent Music Awards, and from the Americana Association.
