Biografía:
Mary Gauthier es una artista country que debutó en el 97 con "Dixie Kitchen" para seguir en el 2001 con "Drag Queens & Limousines", un revulsivo para el country alternativo que se regodeaba en putas, putos, drogas, bares de mala muerte y el sueño americano podrido.
Gauthier arrastraba una infancia robada y una biografía furtiva. Lesbiana, ex alcoholica y ex propietaria en Boston de un restaurante especializado en platos de su Nueva Órleans natal. Portavoz de los perdedores, la Gauthier se aleja del estereotipo de artista country.
