Hailed as “one of America’s very best singer-songwriters” by The New Yorker, Dar Williams will perform in the Amaturo Theater at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts on Friday, January 11 at 7:30 p.m.

Williams has released 10 studio albums in her more than two-decade-long career, in which she has captivated audiences with the sheer elegance and honesty in her folkpop songwriting. Her most recent release, Emerald, features a sparkling collection of new original material, inspired collaborations and some surprising covers which Rolling Stone magazine reported, “deals as bluntly as ever with the shadowy, subtle corners of humanity.”

Known as much for her staunch progressive ideals as her raw acoustic energy, Williams has toured with such distinguished peers as Joan Baez, Patty Griffin, Ani DiFranco, Loudon Wainwright III and Shawn Colvin.  She has also authored four books including her latest, What I Found In A Thousand Towns.

The New Yorker labeled her songs, “…like finely crafted short stories. They are, variously, devastatingly moving, tenderly funny, subtle without being in any way inaccessible, and utterly fresh—not a cliché or a clunker in her entire songbook.”
