About Dar Williams

Dar Williams grew up in New York State, studied at Wesleyan University and began performing in the Boston folk scene in the early 1990s. Her debut album, The Honesty Room, was followed by Mortal City and End of the Summer, records that built her audience among college listeners and folk radio. Joan Baez took her on tour and recorded her songs, which widened her reach further.

Her writing moves between personal memory, small-town life and gentle social observation, delivered in a clear, conversational alto over acoustic guitar. She has also written prose, including What I Found in a Thousand Towns, a book drawn from decades of touring about how small communities rebuild themselves.
