Singer-songwriters Mary Gauthier and Diana Jones both closed the door of their parental home behind them at the age of fifteen to look the world in the face on their own. Mary Gauthier's turbulent youth is reflected not only in her lyrics, but also in her broken voice. Her latest album 'Between Daylight And Dark', was produced by Joe Henry with appropriate simplicity and is your purest Country Noir: darker than Johnny Cash and more country than Dwight Yoakam. The pain runs deep and the questions usually remain unanswered.
Diana Jones not only draws inspiration from her equally turbulent life path, she is also influenced by artists such as Emmylou Harris, Dolly PartonandHazel Dickens >. On this joint tour, Mary Gauthier and Diana Jones paint a compelling picture of the American South through tormented souls and sparse melodies.
