Sixties folk rock was my original muse and the folk audience-people who listen to music off the beaten track-fostered my career. I definitely don't want to abandon the genre but I also need to make sure I'm Dar Williams first.

I went from having three little jobs that I strung together to being on the road full-time having some savings that my managers told me to spend.
