Antje Duvekot [e-album] Big Dream Boulevard

"I think she's going to be the next big American folk singer-songwriter," Ellis Paul says of German-born Boston troubadour Duvekot. And he ought to know; the lithe, literate star has remained at the head of the Boston folk pack, both artistically and professionally, for over 10 years. Duvekot's first studio CD, "Big Dream Boulevard," produced by Solas founder Seamus Egan, marks the most convincing debut by any local songwriter since Dar Williams' "Honesty Room" in 1993. Duvekot's songs feel at once fresh-faced and firmly rooted, driven by the whispery sensuality of her voice. Like Williams, she believes in the redemptive power of the shared secret; and she is utterly unafraid to mine the darkest corners of her life for songs that turn fear into resilience, and isolation into community.
