Dorothy Snowden "Dar" Williams (born April 19, 1967) is an American singer-songwriter who specializes in pop folk.

Williams has been described as "one of America's top singer-songwriters," Hendrik Hertzberg of The New Yorker has described him. "She has appeared at folk festivals and has performed with artists such as Mary Chapin Carpenter, Patty Griffin, Ani DiFranco, The Nields, Shawn Colvin, Girlyman, Joan Baez, and Catie Curtis."

Early life

Williams was born in Mount Kisco, New York, and with two older sisters, Meredith and Julie, grew up in Chappaqua. The name "Dar" derives from a mispronunciation of "Dorothy" by one of Williams' sisters'. Darcy's parents wanted to name her Darcy after the film Pride and Prejudice, and they intentionally named her "Dar" in school, which she shortened to "Dar" in class.

In interviews, she has described her parents as "liberal and loving" people who have early on encouraged a career in songwriting. Williams began playing guitar at age nine and wrote her first song two years later. However, she was more interested in drama at the time and studied theater and religion at Wesleyan University.

Personal life

She married Michael Robinson, an old college friend, on May 4, 2002, but they are now divorced. Stephen Gray Robinson, their son, was born on April 24, 2004. In addition, they have an adopted daughter named Taya, who was born in Ethiopia. She resides in New York's Hudson Valley area.

Musical career

Williams went to Boston in 1990 to further explore a career in theater. She served as stage manager of the Opera Company of Boston for a year, but on the other hand, she began to write songs, record demo tapes, and teach voice lessons. Darby recorded I Have No History, her first album, produced by Jeannie Deva and engineered by Rob Lehmann at Oak Grove Studios in Malden, Massachusetts, in 1990. Darryl released All My Heroes Are Dead, her second album, one year later, in Newton, MA, the majority of which was recorded at Wellspring Sound. Dar's song "Mark Rothko Song" was included on this album. This song's original recording was later included in her third album, The Honest Room. Williams moved to Northampton, Massachusetts, in 1993. Joan Baez, who would make her name well known by performing some of her songs, opened for her early in Williams' career (Williams also performed with Baez on Ring Them Bells). Her increasing fame has since rely heavily on community coffeehouses, public radio, and a large fan base on the internet.

Williams' debut full album, The Honest Room, was released under her own name, Burning Field Music. Nerissa and Katryna Nields, Max Cohen, and Gideon Freudmann were among the guest artists on display. Waterbug Records, a Chicago-based Waterbug Records, limited the album for a brief period of time. Williams soon signed a rights-and-distribution agreement for Burning Field with Razor and Tie, and in 1995, the album was reissued on that label, with two re-recorded bonus tracks. The album went on to become one of the year's best-selling independent folk albums. Mortal City, a 1996 product that was also licensed and sold with Razor and Tie, has received a lot of flak over, partially because it occurred during her Baez tour. The collection included guest appearances by the Nields sisters and Freudmann, as well as noted folk artist John Prine, Cliff Eberhardt, and Lucy Kaplansky. Razor & Tie re-released The Honesty Room in honor of its popularity. Williams' career had gathered traction by the time of her third release, End of The Summer (1997), and the album performed admirably well, considering its genre and independent label recognition.

Williams has lent her talent and assistance to a number of charities, including the founding of the Snowden Environmental Trust and appearing in numerous benefit concerts. She appeared in a performance at Alcatraz with Baez and the Indigo Girls to raise money for Bread and Roses, a prisoner rights organisation.

Williams was inspired to write and publish a directory of natural food shops and restaurants in 1994 as someone who has toured a great deal of the time and had a difficult time finding good dining on the road. Williams co-authored a second edition with Elizabeth Zipern in 1998.

Williams wrote an ebook called What I Found in a Thousand Towns: A Travelers Guide to Rebuilding America's Communities, which was published on September 5, 2017. One Coffee Shop, Dog Run, and Open-Mike Night at a Time is a book that focuses on restoring smaller towns and larger towns in America.
