SUMMARY:Dar Williams
LOCATION:London St Pancras Old Church
DESCRIPTION:With support from Heather Maloney - DAR WILLIAMS’ lyrics cont
 ain bouquets of optimism\, delivered on melodies alternating between begui
 ling lightness and understated gravity. Williams strongly believes that al
 l of us possess our own power and ability to achieve\, and she rejects the
  exceptionalism that encourages us to “admire that yonder star\,” whil
 e making us feel small and insignificant\; unworthy of shining on our own 
 but hoping to catch enough distant light to inspire some tiny accomplishme
 nt. Williams has always been very interested in how to control our future 
 and this album has to do with the fact that at some point\, you just can
 ’t.Like everyone else\, Williams spent 2020 in that state of non-control
 . She and longtime producer Stewart Lerman tracked most of the album\, her
  12th studio recording\, in November of 2019. In late February of 2020\, s
 he cut the title tune in Woodstock with bassist Gail Ann Dorsey and Larry 
 Campbell\, who produced the track and played guitars\, pedal steel and twa
 ngy baritone guitar. When told they had to postpone a mid-March mixing dat
 e\, Campbell said he wasn’t feeling well anyway. Turns out he’d contra
 cted a serious case of COVID-19. That was a clear sign that at some point
 \, you have to meet life where it meets you …the common thread throughou
 t that these songs\, the willingness to meet life as it arrives.Dar Willia
 ms was always in the right place at the right time for the success she’s
  had over a 25+-year career. She rose out of the vibrant mid-90’s Boston
  scene\, inspired by the eclectic influences of alt-rockers\, Berklee jazz
  musicians\, slam poets\, and folk artists\, like Patty Griffith\, Melissa
  Ferrick\, the Throwing Muses\, Vance Gilbert\, and Jonathan Brooke. After
  a year of touring non-stop with her first album\, The Honesty Room\, in 1
 994\, she was invited by Joan Baez to tour in Europe and The United States
 . “Good and bad things happen\, and it’s not necessarily a reward or i
 ndictment. I’ve just got to meet it.” Williams observes. “Like\, I
 ’m bringing my whole life to this moment\; it will surprise me\, challen
 ge me\, show me where I was wrong\, even make a fool out of me\, but my jo
 b is to show up and not take adversity personally. Real happiness doesn't 
 have to feel like Snoopy dancing with Woodstock\; it can just be knowing y
 ou have the resilience to meet whatever comes to you. I will call that a g
 ood life.”Support from HEATHER MALONEY\n\nBoletos: https://wegottickets.
