American singer-songwriter Dar Williams lives at the intersection of pop and folk. She fuses many genres (blues, rock, jazz), resulting in a rather organic sound. She has been making music for over a decade.

Her most recent studio album, “My Better Self,” finds Dar at an unequivocally brazen crossroads. Reflecting on American politics, the disillusionment and apathy of youth, and the female experience, Dar makes no apology for her outspoken beliefs.

my dad got my hooked on dar williams when i was a little girl. memorized so many of her songs and they were always in my head. i remember my dad being surprised that i really really liked her as a young girl. she's amazing, and she's even more amazing live. Favorite song? Party Generation.. hands down.

Her songs are beautifully written and her voice has amazing quality. I'm often near tears when listening to her (sometimes the happy kind, sometimes sad, sometimes overwhelmed). Don't miss The Babysitter's Here, When I Was a Boy, What Do You Hear in These Sounds?
