Antje Duvekot is one of the brightest singer-songwriters to rise out of Boston's competitive acoustic music scene. No one writes quite like Antje, who was influenced lyrically by the very greats -- Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Paul Simon and Leonard Cohen, who are Mt. Rushmore-like figures to her. "Antje is the rare artist who can write about the social and the personal in the same breath,' says folk icon Ellis Paul. "Her voice has a sound of innocence and naivete which makes razor-sharp insights into the human condition.' Adds producer Neil Dorfsman, who has worked with Dylan, Bruce Springsteen and Sting: "She creates an entire, detailed world in verse, and takes you there with beautiful and understated mel- ody. Her songs are stunning paintings of color and shade.' And as Springsteen biographer Dave Marsh says, "Antje is the whole package.'
Antje's path has taken many twists and turns, from Germany to the University of Delaware, then to a short stint in NewYork City andVermont,followed by her current residence in Boston.She is of- ten also on the road, stopping at the prestigious Newport Folk and Philadelphia Folk Festivals, the classic radio show "Mountain Stage' and overseas at the Celtic Connections Festival in Scotland and the Tonder Festival in Denmark. She has won the John Lennon Songwriting Competition and the best new folk award at the Kerrville Festival as well as the Boston Music award for "outstanding folk artist".
Her first album, "Big Dream Boulevard,' was produced by Seamus Egan of Irish-American super- group Solas. Her second, "The Near Demise of the High Wire Dancer,' was produced by Shindell. And now there's "New Siberia.' As she says, "I've grown and come to a stronger period in my life. I can look back with more optimism than before. I've really come far. I think you can only look back when you're in a stronger place.'
