Dar Williams is, according to the New Yorker, "one of America's very best singer-songwriters." She's released ten studio albums, including Emerald and In the Time of Gods. She is also the author of What I Found in a Thousand Towns and three other books. Known as much for her staunch progressive ideals as her raw acoustic energy, Williams has been captivating audiences with her sheer elegance and honesty in her folk-pop songwriting since the nineties. Over her career, so far spanning two decades, she has performed alongside such distinguished peers as Joan Baez, Patty Griffin, Ani DiFranco, Loudon Wainwright III, and Shawn Colvin.
