Tonight at 8pm, The Center Theatre is very proud to welcome Dar Williams to Dover-Foxcroft!   The beloved singer-songwriter is touring in support of her ninth studio album, In The Time Of Gods, released on Razor & Tie on Tuesday, April 17, 2012. Dar’s first album of original material in four years is produced by Kevin Killen.  One of the most lauded singer-songwriters of her generation, Dar Williams has been captivating audiences with her sheer elegance and honesty in her folk-pop songwriting since the early ’90s. As documented on her last album, the 2010 two-disc retrospective Many Great Companions, Williams’ growth as an individual over her almost two-decade-long career has gone hand-in-hand with her evolution as an artist.  She has toured with such distinguished artists as Joan Baez, Patty Griffin, Ani DiFranco, and Shawn Colvin, and recently became a regular contributor to the Huffington Post’s Green Blog.  A dedicated environmentalist, Williams toured throughout the northeast visiting children’s camps and planting bee gardens in summer 2011.

“Dar Williams, one of America’s very best singer-songwriters… Her songs are beautiful. Some are 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.”  -The New Yorker (Nov. 2011)

“Seasons change, but Williams remains both ambitious and pleasingly plainspoken.” -Rolling Stone

“A new generation of pop-folk enthusiasts lauds her as one of the genre’s central figures.” -Paste

“One of our most thoughtful singer-songwriters.” -New York Daily News
