Dar Williams (Dorothy Snowden Williams, born April 19, 1967)[1] is an American singer-songwriter specializing in pop folk.
She is a frequent performer at folk festivals and has toured with such artists as Mary Chapin Carpenter, Patty Griffin, Ani DiFranco, The Nields, Shawn Colvin, Girlyman, Joan Baez, and Catie Curtis.
Williams was born in Mount Kisco, New York, and grew up in Chappaqua with two older sisters, Meredith and Julie. Her nickname “Dar” originated due to a mispronunciation of “Dorothy” by one of Williams’s sisters.[2] Recently, in an interview with WUKY radio, Dar said her parents wanted to name her Darcy, after the character in Pride and Prejudice, and that they intentionally called her “Dar-Dar”, which she shortened to “Dar” in school.[3]
In interviews, she has described her parents as “liberal and loving” people who early on encouraged a career in songwriting. Williams began playing the guitar at age nine and wrote her first song two years later. However, she was more interested in drama at the time, and majored in theater and religion at Wesleyan University.
Williams moved to Boston, Massachusetts in 1990 to further explore a career in theater. She worked for a year as stage manager of the Opera Company of Boston,[4] but on the side began to write songs, record demo tapes, and take voice lessons. Her voice teacher encouraged her to try performing at coffeehouses, but her early years performing were made difficult by the intimidating nature of the Boston folk music scene, as well as her own battle with stage fright.

Saw her at the 50th Philadelphia Folk Festival! Caught her late in her act, but she was very talented & entertaining. I hope she becomes more well known. Live Music Is Better: Bumper Stickers should be issued ...

Dar Williams is one of my favorite folk artists. I first got into her when my aunt introduced me to The Christians and The Pagans during my own religious rebellion.
