Dar Williams

We air the musical portion of our March Get Lit with singer-songwriter Dar Williams!

Singer/songwriter Dar Williams’ first new album in four years is called In the Time of Gods, and on it she addresses some of today’s most pressing social issues through the imagery of ancient Greek mythology.  The album comes out next week - but we’ll get a preview today when she plays live. 

New Yorkers had a range of reactions to 9/11; some decided to leave the city in the weeks and months after the attacks, others felt the need to stay. We’ll speak with musicians Laurie Anderson, Joan Osborne, and Dar Williams about how they felt about 9/11 and their decisions to either keep living here or to move away.

We’ll also take calls from listeners, share your story below!

Folk-pop singer-songwriter Dar Williams began her career in Boston’s coffeehouse scene in the early 1990s. On her latest CD, “Many Great Companions,” she reinterprets songs from her career with guests like Mary Chapin Carpenter, Patty Larkin and Gary Louris of The Jayhawks. Williams joins us to play live in our studio.
