Amy Wright sits down with acclaimed singer-songwriter, much-admired activist, and champion of civil rights and progressive thought, Mary Gauthier.  Mary made a breathtaking collection of songs that she recently released as a studio album titled, Dark Enough to See the Stars, and you’ll get to hear all about the inspiration behind and making of the record today. It’s her eleventh album, the follow-up to the profound, Rifles & Rosary Beads, her 2018 collaborative work with wounded Iraq war veterans.  That record garnered a Grammy nomination for Best Folk Album, as well as a nomination for Album of the Year by the Americana Music Association, so that should give you an idea of the caliber of artist Mary truly is. We’re honored to host her on the show today and excited to hear what she has to say. Part of Pantheon Podcasts  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
