Dar Williams

Dar Williams makes music that is both easy on the ears and gentle for the soul. Her 20 year career has been full of understated goodness. Without much fanfare-albeit eleven studio albums, a critically acclaimed collaboration with Richard Shindell and Lucy Kaplansky (Cry Cry Cry), two books of young adult fiction, and countless tour dates-she has crept her way into the hearts and souls of a rather large audience. She has been described as a synthesis of the Indigo Girls, Joni Mitchell and Joan Baez; in fact, Joan Baez has performed with Dar Williams, as has Mary Chapin Carpenter, Shawn Colvin and Pete Seeger.

Dar certainly has a body of work that offers abundant evidence that she is one of the best singer/songwriters to come out of the contemporary folk scene in thepast two decades, and her material – heartfelt, soul-searching, and often witty and full of fascinating detail – is exactly why the packed houses turn out again and again to experience Dar Williams, who returns to the Twin Cities for a live performance at the Cedar Cultural Center on April 26.
