March 2022 | Spring is Coming and Gauthier News Update 🍀

Hi Friend,

I just wrapped up my time at The Payton Evans/ Studios of Key West writers residency. I was able to get a few more pages written, one more swim at the MLK Community Pool in Bahama Village, one more fried grouper sandwich on Cuban bread, and one more 8 mile spin along the Atlantic Ocean past the Key West Airport on the rented bicycle before I headed back to Nashville. There is nothing quite like the feeling of doing my work in a place that I love, making new friends, hanging out with old friends, and planning for what is next. I am thrilled to be bringing a new record out into the world in June, and booking new tour dates all over the world to support the release. Announcements of all this coming soon, but for now, thank you! Thank you all for helping me to keep it going all these years and for being on this musical journey with me.

I took the picture of the birds as I was standing on the White Street Pier in Key West.
