DAR WILLIAMS seems always in the right place at the right time in her 25+-year career, with warmly observational songs leavened with gentle wit and pithy wisdom. She rose out of the vibrant mid-90’s Boston scene, inspired by alt-rockers, Berklee jazz musicians, slam poets, and folk artists, like Patty Griffith, Melissa Ferrick, the Throwing Muses, Vance Gilbert, and Jonatha Brooke. After touring her first album, The Honesty Room, in 1994, she was invited by Joan Baez to tour in Europe and the US. She has since recorded a dozen acclaimed albums, collaborating with John Prine, Lucy Kaplansky, Richard Shindell, Allison Krause, Béla Fleck, and Ani Difranco among many others. Her published books include Writing a Song That Matters and What I Found in a Thousand Towns: A Traveling Musician’s Guide to Rebuilding America's Communities — One Coffee Shop, Dog Run & Open-Mike Night at a Time.
