Singer/songwriter Dar Williams recently released a new album called Promised Land and while she’s been on the road promoting it for a little while, the good news is, (if you’re a Dar fan, that is), is that she’s about to take up residence in NYC for a show at Southpaw on December 27, 2008 and one at Webster Hall on January 23, 2009 (with Joshua Radin). In honor of her imminent arrival in the big apple, I’m giving away a copy of her new CD and her latest DVD (Live at Bearsville Theater) to one lucky reader who can tell me what “Dar” is short for. Send your answer along with your name and address to contests@bumpershine.com. A winner will be drawn randomly on December 10, 2008. Oh, and one last thing, Dar is returning to the Bearsville Theater (where her DVD was recorded) in Woodstock, NY with Jennifer O’Connor on Friday, December 12, 2008 (buy tickets).
