WHAT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SAYING ABOUT ANTJE DUVEKOT:

"This year's Newport Folk Festival lineup was completely booked. At least that's what producer Robert Jones thought, until he heard Somerville (Ma.) songwriter Antjje Duvekot. It was in June, and Jones says he had one of his rare "rings true" moments. It was the same feeling he had the first time he heard Bob Dylan, Doc Watson, Alison Krauss, Ellis Paul and Dar Williams.


'I find it difficult to explain what it is you just hear it." Jones says of such revelatory musical moments. "The music just swings right. The voice, the style, the melodies, the content:it all comes together". Jones immediately added the singer-songwriter to this weekend's Newport Folk Festival bill.

THE BOSTON GLOBE


"Duvekot has gotten hotter faster than any local songriter in recent memory"
THE BOSTON GLOBE


"No emerging local singer-songwriter has more buzz than Antje Duvekot"
THE BOSTON HERALD


"German-born, American-based singer-songwriter Antje Duvekot could well emerge as the major find of 2006. This, her debut album, is the most refreshing, lyrically-impacting record I've heard in ages. A stunning debut."
-MAVERICK MAGAZINE (UK)


"This is a brilliant, brilliant album. As far as I can tell, she's the whole package. I've had this reaction once in the past 10 years, and that was the first time I heard Patty Griffin. And the reasons are very, very similar: that package of terrific writer and singer, with the instincts to do things right, over and over and over."
DAVE MARSH
Rock critic and former editor of Rolling Stone. He currently edits Rock and Rap Confidential and hosts his own show on Sirius Satellite radio


"Antje Duvekot's dark-eyed ballads are becoming the talk of the folk world. Billboard Magazine, for example, reviewing the Celtic supergroup Solas and its CD "The Edge of Silence," called the band's cover of Duvekot's song "Black Annis" the high point of the album - even though the CD included songs by luminaries such as Bob Dylan and Tom Waits."
THE BOSTON GLOBE


"Antje Duvekot is Boston's next great songwriter...my favorite new poet.. the rare artist that can write about the social and the personal in the same breath. She is as understated as she is wise and her songs go down mentally as well as soulfully."
ELLIS PAUL - singer-songwriter


"When i first heard Antje I knew i was witnessing something very special. She creates an entire, detailed world in verse, and takes you there with beautiful and understated melody. Her songs are stunning paintings of color and shade and always generate the heat and light that real art should. In an unpoetic and 'in your face' world, she is lyrical and subtle"
NEIL DORFSMAN: producer of  Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Sting, Dire Straits


"I have to say I was mightily impressed by Antje. She has such a natural way with the audience and the singing and playing simply spill out and resonate. Talk about touching someone's soul! She is also quite the songwriter and that is a gift when it comes from someone so young."
BARNES NEWBURY/WUMB
Host: Highway 61 Revisited


"My pick hit for the weekend is Antje Duvekot.. Antje is a sensational songwriter with a stunning presence."
GENE SHAY/ WXPN
Founder of the Phila. Folk Festival


"Antje's songs have a grace and sweep rarely witnessed in the modern-day canon. Her ability to render a tune harkens back to an earlier generation of songwriters such as Joni Mitchell, Paul Simon, and the like, whose music was not just for then or now but for always. This music deserves attention"
PETER LUBIN - A&R representative signed Peter Gabriel, Michelle Shocked
             

"The Edge of Silence will be remembered as the album where SOLAS began to push the envelope... ...Nothing on the album, however, surpasses the profound effect of the Antje Duvekot song "Black Annis". An unforgettable tale of sexual abuse, "Black Annis" is based on a figure from Scottish folklore, beautifully sung by Deirdre Scanlan...it's the high point of a powerful record"
BILLBOARD MAGAZINE


"I have never seen an artist so popular with listeners. everyone here at WERS, from the General Manager to the receptionist knows how to spell Antje Duvekot...Since we discovered Antje...the phone calls and emails about her music have been non-stop...When Antje performs, it's like it's just you and her in the room and she is being so honest and so powerful"
Cindy Howes - WERS 89.9 FM, Boston


"Antje Duvekot is a breath of fresh air to the songwriter scene. There's no veil to hide behind here, just a real person, singing real songs about real emotions, and doing it damn well."
Matt Smith - Club Passim, Boston
