Doors open at 7:00 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at

level, the sizable body of work accumulated by celebrated
writer/artist Dar Williams is a continuing narrative of her life —
what she’s experienced and what she’s observed during her years of
intensive touring. On another, it forms a detailed look at the course
of modern-day existence in the decade and a half between 1993, when
Williams released her debut album, The Honesty Room, and 2008, when
her longtime label Razor & Tie released her seventh and most recent
studio album, Promised Land. At the core of Williams’ work is a
belief in the innate ability of people to make a better world, the
product of countless observations in her travels and conversations
with her fans. If anything, her optimism has intensified as she’s
crisscrossed America during the tough times of recent years. “My big
secret,” she says, with a twinkle in her eye, “is that we are
gonna make it — but we’ll be the last to know.”
