In association with the Stanfest Festival Express, The Carleton is pleased – no, excited, ecstatic – to announce that legendary troubadour Mary Gauthier, with special guest Jaimee Harris, will return to Halifax to play our stage for the first time on Tuesday, July 26th. Show time is 7 PM and tickets – while they last – are $35 + HST. Don’t sleep on this one!

Over the course of eight studio albums, Mary Gauthier has firmly planted herself as a truth-telling troubadour unafraid to address situations and evoke emotions many find difficult to articulate. It is one of the numerous things that connect her so profoundly to her fans and why they adore her. On Dark Enough To See The Stars, she mourns the loss of dear friends that include John Prine, Nancy Griffith and David Olney. Gauthier also travels a slightly different course on the album, by offering an optimistic side of herself with songs that celebrate the joy of new love and personal contentment, as heard on her second single “Fall Apart World.”
