Let’s not mince words here, Mary Gauthier is a goddamned legend, not to mention one of the nicest, most down-to-earth people you will ever have the privilege of seeing. She’ll be playing solo and with a Halifax All Star band at The Carleton during this year’s Halifax Urban Folk Festival – along with an opening songwriters’ circle including Tommy Stinson, Bobby Bare. Jr. and a heavy local to be named soon – on Saturday, September 30th. Show time is 8 PM and tickets, while they last, are $67.50 + HST.
