An Evening With Dar Williams

Folk legend and Westchester native Dar Williams is known for her impactful lyrics and an influence on today’s folk music scene. Rising out of the vibrant mid-90s Boston scene, her successful career as a singer-songwriter spans over 25 years. Williams’s success took off after Joan Baez, a key figure in folk music, claimed Dar Williams to be a “folk artist worthy of attention.” Her style is inspired by the eclectic influences of alt-rockers, Berklee jazz musicians, slam poets, and folk artists like Patty Griffith, Melissa Ferrick, the Throwing Muses, Vance Gilbert, and Jonathan Brooke.

An evening with the Mount Kisco native promises to hear her trademark lyrics containing bouquets of optimism, delivered on melodies alternating between beguiling lightness and understated gravity. Experience some of her most enduring songs live, like Mercy of the Fallen, When I Was a Boy, and The Christians and the Pagans.
