Dar Williams

Revelation

by Erick Trickey

posted 4/1/2003

I was at Dar Williams's first performance at the Ark, in April 1994. She opened for Ani DiFranco, and I've never seen an opening act stun and charm a crowd the way hers did. After five songs and one encore, it seemed as if half the audience leaped up and bought her debut album, The Honesty Room.
