Antje Duvekot, of German origin but raised in the US from the age of 13, is the name on everyone's lips as the next big thing in folk-rock. Likened to Dar Williams and Patty Griffin for her vocal intesity and lyrical prowess, Antje Duvekot is making waves with her first studio release Big Dream Boulevard.
Her striking European looks, clear and restrained vocals and classy songwriting have the ability to grab anyone who has come into contact with Antje Duvekot's talent, making them fans for life. Ellis Paul is one who has become snared, and is proclaiming Antje as the next great American singer-songwriter.
The lyrics on Big Dream Boulevard suggest a writer beyond Antje's years, and in the same way Patty Griffin uses humour and pathos to disguise forlorn sadness, the songs deal sensitively and cleverly with personal subjects.
The subtle pop in some of the arrangements on Big Dream Boulevard mean that this is album is always more than just an acoustic singer-songwriter telling sad tales to the backing of a lone guitar, but Antje is always centre stage, inexorably drawing in the listener in to her magnetic performances.
