Gauthier to perform under the stars

By Juliette Coulter

The Stewpot, a Dallas-based mission serving people experiencing hardship or homelessness, will host an intimate evening on Thursday, Nov. 19 from 5:30–9 p.m. with Grammy-nominated Americana singer-songwriter Mary Gauthier (pictured) under the stars in its South Dallas courtyard. The public event will feature live music and an opportunity for neighbors from all walks of life to gather on common ground in support of fellow community members. Known for personal, confessional songs including “Mercy Now” and “I Drink,” Mary Gauthier brings compassion and honesty to stories of struggle, connection and hope. Her album Rifles & Rosary Beads earned a Grammy nomination for Best Folk Album, and artists including Tim McGraw, Blake Shelton and Jimmy Buffett have recorded her songs. Her new album Reckoning reflects her patient, private optimism. The Stewpot is located at 1610 S. Malcolm X Blvd. in Dallas. Visit thestewpot.org/mary for more information.
