Dar Williams

Dar Williams describes modern life as a highway teeming with deep exotic colors, delicate beauty, and the perils of speed. On her thirteenth album, Hummingbird Highway, released September 12 on Righteous Babe Records, she celebrates the vivid hues glimpsed from her vantage point as a touring musician. She reflects on being a suburban child who listened when her hippie teachers urged her to step into the world. This latest work continues an evolving narrative, drawing on Williams' background in playwriting to populate the album with nuanced characters that come alive within moments.
