Mary Gauthier at 30A Songwriters Festival

Here's another great performance from the 30A Songwriters Festival. Mary Gauthier performs her haunting song, "Mercy Now." Listen closely to these amazing lyrics.

This video has a funny intro -- Gauthier congratulates country star Chely Wright (just off camera to Gauthier's left)on coming out as a lesbian on the Oprah show, and shares some hilarious bits of her own background. Then the song's ON.... Tania Elizabeth ( formerly of the Canadian newgrass band The Duhks) sings ethereal backup and plays soulful fiddle.
