Mary Gauthier, Jaimee Harris, & Carrie Rodriguez w/ Luke Jacobs

Mary Gauthier writes the kinds of songs that cut to the core, compassionate but steeled with the kind of wisdom and direct poetry that strikes both intimate and universal. Her Three Women and the Truth shows multiply that impact in a powerful evening of unvarnished feminine storytelling in an all-star songswap. This iteration recruits local Laboratorio maestro Carrie Rodriguez and Austin native Jaimee Harris, returning home behind last year’s poignant Boomerang Town, each artist worthy of carrying the State stage on their own. Gauthier, meanwhile, marks the 25th anniversary of Drag Queens in Limousines, her seminal sophomore LP. – Doug Freeman
