On Friday, August 2nd at 9pm, the Inter-Media Art Center in Huntington, Long Island will host a concert with singer/songwriter DAR WILLIAMS.

One of the most acclaimed and evocative artists of her generation, Dar Williams crafts tunes that resonate with passion and integrity. On her new CD, The Green World- her fourth solo outing and first since 1997- the singer/songwriter pushes her art to the next level with a collection of songs that are personal, dynamic, and poignant. After college in the early 90's, Dar Williams launched her music career on the Boston-Cambridge coffeehouse folk circuit. In 1994 she recorded her first collection of songs, The Honesty Room. She followed up in 1996 with Mortal City. It not only out- sold her debut, but it received widespread critical notice. In 1997, Williams upped the ante and recorded her third album, End of the Summer. It too proved to be a hit.

Dar Williams has kept her formidable legion of fans happy by touring for a good portion of the time. A major component of her success, past tours have included stints on the Lilith Fair, the collaborative project Cry Cry Cry (with Richard Shindell) and have seen her share the stage with artists like Richard Thompson and Ani DiFranco.

Throughout her career Williams has eschewed cliched and superficial expression in favor of digging deeper. She aspires to an artistry that not only entertains but also informs and inspires- where the personal intersects with the political, where beauty blooms from the darkness, where journeys through discord lead to clarity.
