One of the most acclaimed singer-songwriters of her generation, Dar Williams has been engaging audiences with her musical artistry since the early 1990s when she rose from the Northeast coffeehouse circuit to the national spotlight. She makes her first appearance at The Shedd on tour in support of her first album of original material in over three years, Promised Land (released in September), which features 12 songs that showcase Williams' signature wide range of stories and social themes on songs including "It's Alright", "The Easy Way", and "Buzzer". Grammy-nominated folk-rock tunesmith Shawn Mullins opens.
