It wasn't until she got sober and went to an open mic with a friend did she realize that she not only still wanted to write songs, she needed to. Today, Gauthier is a decorated musical artist, with numerous awards and recognition for her songwriting, including a Grammy nomination. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eSaved by a Song\u003c\/i\u003e, Mary Gauthier pulls the curtain back on the artistry of songwriting.
