Now embarking on a new UK tour, travelling to cities including Edinburgh, Belfast, and London, the experienced singer will grace the stage with a special guest performance from Jaimee Harris.
Gauthier, who has been praised by The Sun for making the world "a little easier" to navigate, has had a colourful career.
She moved to Nashville at the age of 40 to pursue a career in music, and within a year, she had gone from playing open mics to performing at the Newport Folk Festival.

Her debut album, Drag Queens in Limousines, was released 25 years ago, and the response was so overwhelming that she decided to focus on her music career full-time.
Exploring difficult themes from her life, such as adoption trauma and addiction, Gauthier has used song-writing as a way to find purpose in her life.
The musician has also turned her hand to literature, with her recent book, Saved by a Song, named a "must-read" by Rolling Stone Magazine.
Excerpts from the book are set to feature in her upcoming shows, with tickets available to be purchased from Mary Gauthier's official website.
