Saved By A Song with Mary Gauthier
Dr. Dan’s guest this week is Mary Gauthier, the Grammy-nominated American folk singer, songwriter, and author of the new memoir SAVED BY A SONG. Mary’s life and her book are powerful and inspiring and today’s poignant interview will open minds and hearts.
Dr. Dan and Mary discuss overcoming childhood trauma, living in an orphanage for the first year of her life, addiction and recovery, her later in life calling to music, the significance of our chosen family where we can often find the love and acceptance we didn't have in our biological or adoptive family, her work with veterans and the Songwriting with Soldiers program, and how she spreads empathy, acceptance, and hope through music and words.
Among others, Emmylou Harris, Sarah Silverman, Robert Plant, and Wally Lamb have all praised SAVED BY A SONG. And Brandi Carlile said: “Mary’s songwriting speaks to the tender aspects of our humanness. Her vignettes span the emotional landscape, and leave us feeling deeply seen and understood. We need her voice in times like these more than we ever have.”
