Glasgow gigs: Dar Williams, Friday 14th March, CCA
Dar Williams
Fri 14 March 2014

One of the most lauded singer-songwriters of her generation, Dar Williams has been captivating audiences with her sheer elegance and honesty in her folk-pop song writing since the early ’90s. As documented on her last album, the 2010 two-disc retrospective Many Great Companions, Williams’ growth as an individual over her almost two-decade-long career has gone hand-in-hand with her evolution as an artist. She has toured with such distinguished artists as Joan Baez, Patty Griffin, Ani DiFranco, and Shawn Colvin, Dar returns with her first new album in four years, In The Time Of Gods.
“Dar Williams, one of America’s very best singer-songwriters…her songs are beautiful. Some are like finely crafted short stories. They are, variously, devastatingly moving, tenderly funny, subtle without being in any way inaccessible, and utterly fresh – not a cliché or a clunker in her entire songbook.” The New Yorker
“Known for her lyrical, evocative songwriting and singing…Ms. Williams has been a leading figure in the folk-rock world for nearly 20 years.” Wall Street Journal
