Melissa Ferrick, Dar Williams

It’s springtime in the Twin Cities, which means touring musicians are once again willing to add us to their schedule, including the talented New England singer/songwriters Dar Williams and Melissa Ferrick. On the light side, Dar Williams, with her quirky, melancholy songs about alternative radio, therapy, and how southern California wants to be western New York; on the dark side, Melissa Ferrick tearing through her songs of unrequited love, troubled father/ daughter relationships and frogs named Freddy. Both artists are tremendous songwriters who spent most of the last decade on the folk-rock fringe and deserve to get noticed. Judging by their recent live albums, they both put on formidable shows. Cabooze, 917 Cedar Ave. S., (612) 338-6425; Pantages Theatre, 710 Hennepin Ave., (612) 339-7007
