Dar Williams has announced that she will celebrate the 20th anniversary of her breakthrough album, Mortal City, with a North American tour. At each show, including three nights at New York’s City Winery, Dar will perform the album in its entirety.
For the shows, the songwriter handpicked notable authors, writers and poets in each city to open with readings on select dates. Dar says of her picks:
“These are people who have connected the mortal city through words and poetry and the sharing of beautifully expressed ideas. The people who are coming to speak represent that strength: the strength of our democracy through its culture. They all embrace democracy in different ways… the pen being mightier than the sword.”
