If you are interested in being a Street Team member to help distribute posters and fliers in your hometown, please email: dartour@gmail . com . For tour dates see: http://www . darwilliams . com About Dar Williams "With every album, I’m trying to figure out what I don’t have to say, while still giving each song its due," Dar Williams says. Of her new album, Promised Land, Williams commented, "On this one, I was paring the stories down to their core. I wanted the songs to sound simple and down to what they were meant to be, which is hard to do. It takes a lot of knowledge to get to the point where you can say what you need to say — no more, no less." To peel her insightful, melodic story-songs down to their essence, as well as inject them with the energy and momentum they clearly called for, Williams enlisted Brad Wood, a Grammy-nominated producer and musician known for his work with rock singer-songwriters Liz Phair, Pete Yorn, and Ben Lee. "Dar was looking to try something different and get out of her comfort zone," Wood says. "She had made a number of records and it seemed like a good time, career-wise, for her to make a chan I was flattered that she thought to ask me to help. Her voice is so great that you can do just about anything behind her and it’s going to sound cool!" Personally inspired by the spindly live feel of late '70s/early '80s albums by the Police, Elvis Costello, and the Pretenders, Wood manages to make Williams' elegant, worldly songs sound visceral and urgent, while preserving the integrity and emotion that have been hallmarks of her sound (along with a beautifully intimate, bell-clear voice) since Williams began playing out on the Northeast singer-songwriter circuit in the early ’90s. “Brad understood the songs and gave them the space they needed,” Williams says. “I love that clean, straightforward sound he gets.” And so Promised Land includes several immediately engaging toe-tappers, such as “It’s Alright,” “The Easy Way,” “Buzzer,” and “Go to the Woods,” as well as Williams’ trademark thoughtful balladry, including the keenly felt “Book of Love,” “The Tide Falls Away,” and “You Are Everyone. http://www . darwilliams . com In the past, Williams’ songwriting has located the personal in such universal topics as politics, religion, sexuality, and family. This time, rather than tie the songs together around any particular theme. JAMES McMURTRY will performon Monday 12 October at the The Bongo Club @ 7:30pm JUST ANNOUNCED!!

Madeleine 'Conman' Is Charged With Fraud
A businessman whose firm was paid around £300,000 in campaign donations to find Madeleine McCann has been arrested over a separate alleged fraud.Kevin Halligen, 48, was taken into police custody on Tuesday afternoon following a discrepancy over his bill at the Old Bank Hotel in Oxford.
He is already wanted in the US, where he is accused of conning a London-based law firm out of more than £1.2m.Madeleine's parents Kate and Gerry hired Halligen's firm, Oakley International, last year to look for their daughter, who went missing from an Algarve resort in 2007. The six-month contract saw the company hire other private detectives, set up a hotline and process information. It was not renewed. A spokesman for the McCann family said: "Our association with Halligen and Oakley International ended well over a year ago. "Given that an arrest has been made it would be inappropriate for us to comment." Two weeks ago, the US Department of Justice issued an indictment for the Briton, who is originally from Surrey but works out of Washington. Halligen is accused of using the law firm's funds for his own benefit, including buying a mansion in Virginia. It is claimed he had said the money was to help secure the release of two business executives from the Dutch company Trafigura, who were arrested in the Ivory Coast.

LONDON (Reuters) - Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe has denied smoking marijuana at a party, after a report appeared in British tabloid the Daily Mirror. "We categorically deny the allegations regarding Daniel Radcliffe published in today's Daily Mirror," his spokeswoman said in a statement on Friday. "Daniel does smoke the occasional roll-up cigarette, but he was not doing anything more than this. We are considering our position and will be taking all necessary action in relation to such allegations." Radcliffe, 20, shot to international fame for playing boy wizard Potter in the movie adaptations of J.K. Rowling's hugely successful series of books. The six films to date have earned billions of dollars at the box office, and filming is under way for the two-part final installment "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows."(Reporting by Mike Collett-White; Editing by Steve Addison)
