Official You Tube Page for Dar Williams.

Singer/songwriter Dar Williams first album of original material in over three years, PROMISED LAND, was released September 9th. Produced by Brad Wood (Pete Yorn, Liz Phair, Smashing Pumpkins), the album features 12 reflective songs that introduce a fresh interpretation of her previous sound.

Williams ability to perform witty songs that cover a wide range of social and political topics are showcased on the engaging tracks Its Alright, The Easy Way, and Buzzer. Williams also does a cover of Midnight Radio from the acclaimed rock musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch, as well as a cover of Fountains of Wayne song Troubled Times. The vigor on PROMISED LAND comes from working with a new group of people producer Brad Wood and the stable of new musicians he assembled. Williams friends are also featured as guest artists Marshall Crenshaw, Suzanne Vega and Gary Louris from The Jayhawks. Producer Wood injects her new songs with energy and momentum.

One of the most acclaimed singer-songwriters of her generation, Dar Williams has been engaging audiences with her musical artistry since the early 1990s when she rose from the Northeast coffeehouse circuit to the national spotlight. Never afraid to challenge herself or her audience, Williams has been a dedicated social and political activist throughout her career. Lending her talent to support various causes, she has taken part in many benefit concerts. Williams has captivated her loyal audiences across the country with her live performances and she continues to tour regularly. She will hit the road this fall with Shawn Mullins as main support.
