I haven’t been gigging too often in recent months. Partly it’s laziness, partly financial, partly me taking better care of my hearing capabilities. But a couple of weeks ago Dar Williams was in Dordrecht and that was close enough to warrant a Saturday night out.
See Dar is always charming live. Although I haven’t had proper exposure to her last couple of albums, I have seen her play twice in Scotland and it’s always lovely. Armed with an acoustic guitar, her honest folky lyrical style transcends the usual Americana words that I often can’t fully relate to. So even when she writes a literal song about New York, it transposes well to universal situations.
I must confess, it was one of the quietest shows I’ve been to – if you’re willing to overlook the first time I saw Cat Power live and was too afraid to move as my boot kept creaking on the floor if I switched weight from foot to another. Maybe it was a deliberate noise level issue as the venue was an official city building, Statenzaal ‘t Hof. Fortunately it didn’t take away from the enjoyment of the performance. It was just very noticeable sitting in the back row, albeit if the room was very small and pretty.
Admittedly you won’t earn many cool points for listening to Dar, but she is always fun and good at conversation, and her recent release My Better Self has a slightly sharper edge that some of her older material doesn’t. Due back in Holland in April, I’d quite happily catch her again, although perhaps not if it involved traveling to Amsterdam.
An extra shout out is deserved for the people of Crossroads Radio who put on the show. Although aimed at something of an older audience than I’m used to, the organisers are blatantly passionate about Americana and folk, and it was nice to be part of such a homegrown show where tickets were sold trustingly by email and word-of-mouth.
