Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter and author Mary Gauthier has announced the September 25th, 2026 release of her forthcoming album, Reckoning via Soundly/Thirty Tigers. The new album “exudes an urgency during turbulent times, while offering inspiration and hope.”

Each of the nine songs tells stories of “characters who arrive at pivotal moments and face choices that ultimately define lives, communities, and even history.”

Across more than two decades, Mary Gauthier’s songwriting has confronted difficult subjects. Her songs have explored “addiction, recovery, family, war, grief, love, and redemption.” These are all based on lived experiences for her.

The album’s title track, co-written with Aaron Lee Tasjan, is out now as a “meditation on a world at a breaking point where personal, political, and spiritual truths can no longer be ignored.” Gauthier “reminds us that nothing can hold back justice, transformation or renewal forever.”
