Lobero LIVE presents
Eliza Gilkyson, Mary Gauthier and Gretchen Peters:
Three Women and the Truth
Three women, three guitars and the words, music, and hard-won wisdom
from three lifetimes spent in pursuit of the song.
Friday, February 20 at 8 PM at the Lobero Theatre
Santa Barbara, CA, February 9, 2016 – Lobero LIVE is pleased to present Eliza Gilkyson, Mary
Gauthier and Gretchen Peters: Three Women and the Truth on Friday, February 20. Three Women and
The Truth is a trio of accomplished, richly talented, award-winning female songwriters whose songs cut
through the murky layers of life's complexities and bring clarity to many of the challenges we all long to
make sense of. Writing from their life’s experience, these songwriters are skilled in balancing personal
tales with classic underpinnings, which hint at the evocative idea that all our lives are full of events and
incidents that touch on the mythic and the timeless.
Eliza Gilkyson
Eliza Gilkyson is a GRAMMY®-nominated singer, songwriter and activist who has become one of the
most respected musicians in Roots, Folk and Americana circles. She has released 19 recordings of her
own, and such notables as Joan Baez, Bob Geldof, Tom Rush and Rosanne Cash have covered her
songs. She has appeared on NPR, Austin City Limits, Mountain Stage, Etown, XM Radio, and on Air
America Radio. She has been inducted into the Austin Music Hall of Fame and is an ongoing winner of
the Austin Chronicle’s various music awards, as well as Folk Alliance awards for Best Artist, Best
Songwriter and Record of the Year.
“Eliza Gilkyson's signature as an artist is her courage... Through music, she shares all the hope and
hurt in her heart, sensing that this personal expression validates the idea that we're not in this alone.” –
Austin American Statesman
Mary Gauthier
Mary Gauthier is a singer-songwriter who the Associated Press named one of the best songwriters of
her generation. She’s been praised by both Dylan and Waits, and has had her songs recorded by

Banshee, and Masterpiece Theater’s Case Histories. She was awarded New Artist of the year by The
Americana Music Association in 2005, and has released six studio albums. Her third album, Filth and
Fire was named #1 Best Independent CD of the year by Jon Pareles of the New York Times, and she’s
seen three of her releases named in the LA Times and NY Times “top three releases” of the year. She’s
often been called a writer’s writer, and that thrills her to no end.
“With songwriting as powerful as hers, there’s no need to go looking for qualifiers…She’s a unique,
intrinsically valuable musical voice. And there’s never a surplus of those.” –Los Angeles Times
Gretchen Peters
Twice GRAMMY®-nominated and CMA Song Of The Year winner for the groundbreaking
“Independence Day” (Martina McBride), Gretchen Peters has cut her own artistic path, touring
continually in both North America and the UK and Europe, and releasing nine critically acclaimed
albums on the way. The 25-year Nashville resident has accumulated accolades as a songwriter for
artists as diverse as Etta James, Trisha Yearwood, Bonnie Raitt, The Neville Brothers, Patty Loveless,
George Strait, Bryan Adams and Faith Hill. Her latest album, Hello Cruel World, landed in the top 5 on
the US Americana chart, and maintained the #1 position for a record-breaking 2 months on the
EuroAmericana chart. Described by NPR's All Things Considered as “the album of her career’, Hello
Cruel World appeared in numerous Best of 2012 lists including No Depression, AllMusic.com and
Performing Songwriter. Peters was nominated for the Nashville Songwriters’ Hall Of Fame in 2011 and
2012.
“This is not jukebox music–the stuff that exists to fill in the pauses in conversation.
This IS the conversation.” –Associated Press
