The Chocolate Church Arts Center is thrilled to bring three multiple award-winning female songwriters Eliza Gilkyson, Gretchen Peters, and Mary Gauthier to perform together as an alternative folk super group, “Three Women and The Truth,”  Sunday, May 19 at 7:30 p.m.

With three voices and three guitars, Three Women and The Truth shares the hard-won wisdom from lifetimes spent in pursuit of the song. 

Eliza Gilkyson is a twice Grammy-nominated folk singer whose songs have been covered by Joan Baez, Bob Geldof, and Rosanne Cash. She has won countless Folk Alliance and Austin Music Awards, including 2014’s Songwriter of the Year.

Gretchen Peters, a member of the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, has written songs for artists from Etta James to Bonnie Raitt, to The Neville Brothers. In 2015, The Telegraph named her one of the greatest 60 female singer-songwriters of all time.

Mary Gauthier, named by the Associated Press as one of the best songwriters of her generation, has released albums that have garnered praise from the LA Times and the New York Times (“best independent release of the year”). Her most recent release, Rifles & Rosary Beads (a collection of songs co-written with wounded veterans) was nominated for 2018’s record of the year by the Americana Music Association.
