Dar Williams

Is it female singer-songwriter week at the Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center or what?

Karla Bonoff turns up Friday (see info on this section's Sure Thing pages), and then Dar Williams comes to town on Saturday.

Williams has toured with everyone from Joan Baez to Mary Chapin Carpenter to Ani DiFranco. She's played the Newport Folk Festival and the Lilith Fair. And her two-CD "Many Great Companions" release offers up new material on one disc and 19 of her classics on a second disc.

- KRISTINA DORSEY

Dar Williams, 8 p.m. Saturday, Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center, 300 Main St., Old Saybrook; $35, $38; 1-877-503-1286, katharinehepburntheater.org.
