Described by The New Yorker as “one of America’s very best singer-songwriters,” Dar Williams has been a staple of the folk-pop scene since her breakthrough in the mid-90s. Known for her “reporter’s keen eye” and a signature blend of academic literacy and warm, conversational wit, she writes songs that feel like short stories. Whether exploring the complexities of the female experience in “When I Was a Boy” or the quirky social dynamics of “The Christians and the Pagans,” Dar’s music has always centered on how people connect—and how they find their way home.
This tour celebrates her latest album, Hummingbird Highway, a collection of songs that find beauty and perspective in the motion of a touring life. Her live shows are famous for their intimacy, moving effortlessly from breezy bossa nova to roots-rock energy and contemplative acoustic moments. More than just a concert, it’s an invitation to step off the high-speed road of modern life and experience what Dar calls “human-scale” storytelling. Join one of folk music’s most trusted voices for an evening of music that untangles the complicated threads of our time to find the brightest colors underneath.
