Beacon singer-songwriter Dar Williams has been busy offstage this year, promoting her new book What I Found in a Thousand Towns: A Traveling Musician’s Guide to Rebuilding America’s Communities, One Coffee Shop, Dog Run, and Open Mike at a Time. But this Sunday she’s returning to more familiar ground, both physically and artistically, with a special hometown benefit concert for the Beacon Hebrew Alliance.
“I’m very happy to support the spirit and work of BHA, which shares so many of my beliefs about the importance of creating spaces and opportunities for people to connect,” says Williams, who I profiled in Chronogram some years back and has been featured in the magazine repeatedly since then. Founded in 1921, Beacon Hebrew Alliance is housed in a strikingly elegant Tudor revival mansion known as Winter Hill.
Here, Williams sings “Teenagers, Kick Our Butts” this past March:
Dar Williams will perform at Beacon Hebrew Alliance in Garrison, New York, on May 6 at 2pm. Tickets are $75. For more information, call (845) 331-2012 or visit https://beaconhebrewalliance.org/.
