Antje Duvekot (born 1976 in Heidelberg, Germany) is a singer-songwriter and guitarist based in Somerville, Massachusetts.
She 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 accompaniment besides her acoustic guitar.
She began recording music on her own at the age of 16, producing limited-edition cassette tapes for her friends. At 18 she won the first open mic competition she entered, at the Sam Adams Brewpub in Philadelphia. Within a year, she had recorded a number of songs on a borrowed 4-Track tape machine, and released a self-produced full-length cassette entitled Waterstains“ which she sold at gigs in and around Wilmington, Delaware, where she was enrolled in school.
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. Big Dream Boulevard was produced by Séamus Egan of the Irish-American 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 for solace. So themes like personal struggle with relationships and existential issues“ (Interview with Antje Duvekot, David Shankbone, Wikinews, November 11, 2007).

I bought Snapshots, and thought it was OK. Antje seems like an interesting developing artist. However, this artist description is just plain ridiculous. I don't know who wrote it, but it sounds like a bizarre, grasping PR memo from a low-budget record company. Someone who knows more about this artist than I do should fix it with some details; I'm kind of tempted to delete the whole thing and start from scratch.

Saw her in concert Friday night. Voice of an angel, and the sesne of humor of an Irishman. Wished she played longer...
