Drag Queens In Limousines: Celebrating 25 Years Of Mary Gauthier With Special Guest Jaimee Harris
CL RECOMMENDS
CRITIC’S PICK
Wed. March. 26-Thurs. March 27
Mary Gauthier, Eddie’s Attic —Fresh from a stellar, star-studded tribute at last year’s AmericanaFest which found such stars as Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell singing Gauthie’s songs, the one-time professional chef returns to the far more intimate Eddie’s for her annual visit. This time the highly regarded singer/songwriter is booked for a two-night stand that will certainly sell out. She calls her music “country noir” which perfectly describes her mesmerizing, laconic music and languid New Orleans drawl, often compared to a smoother, less ragged Lucinda Williams. She is still touring behind 2022s enthralling and critically adored Dark Enough to See the Stars, arguably her finest work. Not to be missed. — Hal Horowitz
From the venue:
Drag Queens in Limousines: Celebrating 25 Years of Mary Gauthier with special guest Jaimee Harris live at Eddie's Attic!
"Drag queens in limousines, nuns in blue jeans, dreamers with big dreams, they all took me in.” – “Drag Queens in Limousines,” Mary Gauthier
What out lesbian moves to Nashville at 40 to start a troubadour career? Who goes from playing open mics to playing the Newport Folk Festival in one years time?
It’s been 25 years since Mary Gauthier, now revered songwriter, released her groundbreaking debut album Drag Queens in Limousines. Eighteen months after this record was released, the response was so incredible that she hung up her chef’s coat, moved to Nashville, and started to make her mark as an exciting new voice in the songwriting world.
“Drag Queens in Limousines” is an anthem for anyone who has ever felt like an outsider. It turns out, that’s all of us. For twenty-five years, Mary Gauthier has brought all kinds of folks from all walks of life together with her deeply personal, yet paradoxically universal work.
By writing about what matters most to her, having the courage to sing what’s often too hard for us to say, and delivering the work authentically, Mary Gauthier opened the gate and widened the path that many who came after her have traveled.
Join us in celebrating twenty-five years of the unique, courageous songs of Mary Gauthier.
