“I'll Meet You Here” The New York-born Dar Williams has been crafting some of the most engaging music of the last 30 years. A graduate of Wesleyan, Williams got her start in the early '90s in Boston. She had moved there to pursue a career in theater, but inspired by contemporaries like Throwing Muses and Melissa Ferrick, Williams starting writing songs of her own and she hit the ground running, knocking out cassette-only efforts like I Have No History and All My Heroes Are Dead. Her proper full length debut The Honesty Room came out on her own label Burning Field Music and found her a fan in Joan Baez who not only later recorded some of Dar's songs, she invited Williams to tour with her. With almost 20 albums under her belt, including The Green World, Mortal City, My Better Self and her new one I'll Meet You Here, Williams has established herself as one of the most enduring and endearing songwriters out there. She's toured with Patty Griffin, Shawn Colvin and Ani Di Franco, recorded with everyone from John Prine to Clifff Eberhart and she formed the group Cry Cry Cry along with Richard Shindell and Lucy Kaplansky as vehicle to honor their favorite folk numbers. An environmental activist, an educator and an author of several books ranging from YA to urban planning—her book The Tofu Tollbooth is an essential directory of natural food store-- Dar Williams kind of does it all. I'll Meet You Here is her first new album in 6 years and it's a refreshing blast of rootsy rock, introspective folk and horn-tinged Americana. This record is a melodic blast of utter musical joy. A playful lyricist who can also be so emotionally exact it's like a direct sucker punch, Dar Williams is one of our very best.

All Hail the Coffeehouse Queen, Dar Williams! Jason & Nick dive deep into Dar's first two albums, The Honesty Room & Mortal City,and, their poetic adolescences, teenage car accidents and seasonal depression! We're so glad you finally made it here to our 13th Episode! We hope we're aging well and that you will come and sit in the Honesty Room with us as we laugh and cry in the church of this goddess folk-singer-songwriter-diva.  (We are In Syndication!

By Ken Paulson I try never to walk into a record store without buying something, but I was stumped one day in the mid-’90s. I felt like I had already bought everything I wanted in the pop, rock, country and R&B bins. So I walked over to the often-neglected folk section and came across an album called Mortal City by… Read more The post Show 49 Dar Williams appeared first on Americana One.

You can’t live in New York without hearing the word gentrification play around you like background music. It’s the elephant lurking in stories like “What does $1M buy in NYC? Not as much as it used to.” It’s the sight of new coffee shops and restaurants popping up on a block that seemed immune to development. Signs in the neighborhood like the one pictured below, encouraging owners to "sell your property" and "buy your dream." For 20 years now, Bed-Stuy has been experiencing this kind of condo-building, bar opening, home-buying wave that alters the feel of a place, and most importantly, its affordability. As part of a report on New York’s “New High-Rent Districts,” The New York Times found that rents in Bed-Stuy shot up by 41% in the past 10 years—placing it third on a list of the biggest rent hike areas in the city. In the decade prior, according to The Center for Urban Research, the growth of the white population in the western, Bedford side of the neighborhood was the largest percentage increase—633%—of any other group in all of New York City. Race, class and privilege are bound up in the story of any changing New York neighborhood, but the conversation becomes more fraught and prone to stereotypes when a historically African-American neighborhood like Bed-Stuy gentrifies. As delicate and vexing as the subject can be, I wondered what we might learn about gentrification if we could hear residents in Bed-Stuy speak candidly about the changes they were seeing. Was there anything new, in fact, to learn about a phenomenon that is as old as New York? To get people to open up, I thought of my friend, journalist Kathleen Horan. In her Audible Original show, “Mortal City,” she goes deep with everyone from sanitation to sex workers, so I asked if she could interview a similarly diverse group in Bed-Stuy. The cross-section of people she spent time with—a real estate broker, bar and restaurant owners, a longtime resident and a local politician, Assemblywoman Tremaine Wright—help paint a more nuanced picture. We encountered perspectives we expected, opinions that caught us off guard, and welcome pointers for newcomers to the neighborhood. What follows is Brooklyn Based’s first-ever audio narrative, What We're Not Saying, produced in partnership with Brooklyn Podcasting Studio in Park Slope. It’s not a podcast (yet), but it could be the start of one, so if you have suggestions for future topics of What We’re Not Saying, get in touch here.

Kathleen Horan writes obituaries for the living. Her Audible original series, Mortal City, is an anthology of lesser-known New York characters: Douglas the sanitation worker, Serge the barman, Rocky the ambulance commandant. “I just kept feeling like there were people that I was missing,” says Horan. She prefers to talk to people who live and work on the city’s margins: “They just can’t help but show you higher up on the thigh of their story.” In the Spiel, the latest page in the very long scrapbook on President Trump’s communication catastrophes.

This week we're rolling (Del Amitri-style) back twenty years to recall the music of 1996. (You can blame Dar Williams; we just saw her in concert celebrating the 20th anniversary of her classic Mortal City album...) 'Twas an odd time in music... while the post-grunge pop charts were dominated by the likes of Celine Dion and those Macarena dudes, some interesting new acts were breaking through too. Some of them stuck around for a while (Alanis Morissette, Blues Traveler, No Doubt), while others had just a hit single and a weird band name (Spacehog, Dog's Eye View... and yikes, Deep Blue Something). The Barenaked Ladies broke into their old apartment, Dishwalla counted blue cars, and Tracy Bonham just kept screaming at her mother. Joan Osborne had some questions about God... but World Pasta Day is this week, and we're more curious about the Flying Spaghetti Monster. So relax at your favorite coffee shop (that's certainly where we spent most of 1996) and enjoy the show. We hope you find it even better than Ezra.
