Mary Gauthier's latest album The Foundling is a raw, autobiographical collection about her own adoption and search for her birth mother. Mary spent her infancy at St. Vincent’s Women & Infants Asylum on Magazine Street, New Orleans. Adopted in early childhood, Mary never felt at ease and left family at the age of 15 in search of ‘home’. At 45, Mary found her birth mother, yet a meeting was denied as her mother couldn’t face revisiting the pain of the separation at birth.

Since her 1997 debut album Dixie Kitchen - released at the age of 35 - Mary's albums and live shows have marked her as a significant songwriter and vocalist who isn't afraid of telling bigger truths. The follow-up Drag Queens in Limousines got a four-star rating in Rolling Stone and gave her a major boost to her profile. The title song won Best Folk/Singer-Songwriter Song at the first Independent Music Awards and her subsequent albums - Filth & Fire, Mercy Now and Between Daylight and Dark - have all met with rave reviews.
