How's this for unlikely? Born in Germany, came to America and learned English as a teenager, fought off loneliness with tapes of Ellis Paul and John Gorka, became a songwriter and not only the darling of the coffeehouse set but the favorite songwriter of the Irish-American band Solas. This unusual career path led her to Boston. Her bi-continental upbringing led to a unique outsiders view of not only America, but life in general. She also has a fine eye for detail and often uses those details to reveal a bigger story. The summer will see her perform everywhere from the Woody Guthrie Festival in Oklahoma to the Tonder Festival in Denmark. "Antje Duvekot is Boston's next great songwriter...my favorite new poet.. the rare artist that can write about the social and the personal in the same breath. She is as understated as she is wise and her songs go down mentally as well as soulfully." "When i first heard Antje I knew i was witnessing something very special. She creates an entire, detailed world in verse, and takes you there with beautiful and understated melody. Her songs are stunning paintings of color and shade and always generate the heat and light that real art should. In an unpoetic and 'in your face' world, she is lyrical and subtle" | |
