She does remind me of Ani, but I don't mind it because she sounds lovely and like she has potential. Want to hear more.

!!!!!!!!!!!! ! ! ! ! I'm so glad to see Antje on here! I've known her since the early 90s and seriously, she's not trying to be ani difranco. She has always sounded the way she does now, and her songs have always expressed deep and complex emotions in an intelligent way that is also soothing to listen to. I still remember her singing "fast car" to us at night in the woods whenever i hear tracy chapman sing anything. antje is good stuff. :)

She's nothing like DiFranco (who has emulated others, although deserves accolades). Would love to see her live as mentioned. Maybe on a high wire.

I first saw her at the Iron Horse when she opened for Ellis Paul. It was a great show. I saw her agian at Caffe Lena where she was feeling under the weather. I still enjoyed the music. Try her live if you can.

for solace. So themes like personal struggle with relationship s and existential issues."
Duvekot's first two albums, Little Peppermints and Boys, Flowers, Miles, are based on recordings of live performances , although some tracks include studio overdubs as well. Both albums include spoken anecdotes from Duvekot. In June 2006, Duvekot competed in the 35th Annual Kerrville New Folk Competition in Kerrville, Texas.

Big Dream Boulevard was produced by Séamus Egan of the Irish-Americ a n band Solas. Solas has previously recorded five of Duvekot's songs: "Black Annis," "The Poisonjester s Mask," "Erin," "Reasonland, " and "Merry Go Round."
"I think it’s fair to say that over all I turn to music in times of trouble and need as a therapeutic tool to get me through sadness," said Duvekot in an interview. "That’s why I tend to turn to music. So my songs tend to be a little darker, because that’s where I tend to go |

In 2000, her song “Soma” won the grand prize in the rock category of the John Lennon Songwriting Contest. Duvekot often tours with Ellis Paul, who sings on her first studio album, Big Dream Boulevard. |

From Wikipedia: Antje's Biography
Duvekot moved to Delaware at the age of 13, when her mother remarried. Duvekot writes songs that are often dark and personal, and she frequently records and performs with little accompanimen t besides her acoustic guitar. She began recording music on her own at the age of 16, producing limited-edit i o n cassette tapes for her friends.

Great Sound - I wish I lived in Nashville to see you at the Bludbird but will pass on to the rest of my family that does.

First heard Antje @ the Woody Guthrie Folk Festival in Okemah, OK. She had been touring w/ Ellis Paul & it was through his influence that she came---what a blessing the universe gave us that day!! She also sang w/ Ellis (or he sang w/ her) & they had such fun that it was fun for the audience. If you get a chance catch a performance. She's great; i like Big Dream Boulevard a little more than Little Peppermints- - t h e rhymes are more developed.

I was fortunate to see Antje live in Oak Ridge, TN. Just her and her guitar....an d she was fabulous! Cute as a bug, talented beyond belief and kept everyone entertained with her beautiful music and cute stories.
It was my first introduction to folk music and have been an avid fan since. Thanks Antje for sharing your talent and opening up new doors for me personally! |

I saw Antje in Dahlonega, GA two weeks ago and again in Londonderry, NH this last Saturday night. To say she is simply magnificent would be an understateme n t . I spoke with a number of people at the concert and to a person they heard Antje first on Pandora.com. When cars can be equipped with streaming audio from the internet you will be a star. I can't wait.

Amazing, she has voice that could rock waves in the ocean to sleep and intricate lyrics to accompany.
