Dar Williams at City Winery

From the venue:

Dar Williams' lyrics exude optimism on melodies that seamlessly shift between lightness and gravity. Rejecting the notion of exceptionalism, she believes in everyone's inherent power to achieve. Her latest album, recorded before the chaos of 2020, delves into the theme of accepting life's unpredictability. Williams, with a successful 25-year career, emerged from the vibrant mid-90s Boston scene, touring extensively and even collaborating with Joan Baez. She embraces life's highs and lows, emphasizing the importance of resilience and the ability to meet challenges without taking adversity personally. Ultimately, she defines a good life as having the resilience to face whatever comes your way.
