Night 2 of 2.

Dar Williams is a longtime Ark favorite who finds the personal in the political and the universal—and sets folk commitment to great pop tunes. Dar has always kept audiences guessing. Are her songs autobiographical? They're so vivid, and they seem so personal, that you assume they must be. But Dar says that she prefers to write about and for other people. Her songs tell stories of politics, religion, sexuality, and family, and the grassroots activism she has practiced often finds its way into her music. Dar comes to Michigan with a new album, Emerald." "There are lots of familiar faces on this record: Jill Sobule, Richard Thompson, The Milk Carton Kids, Jim Lauderdale plus many, many more!" says Dar.
