Antje Duvekot could very well be the next great American Folk singer - songwriter. Her "Big Dream Boulevard" is a provocative emotional journey through her life. She sings about real life experiences and has a way with mixing her lyrics and songs with the dark feelings that lurk in her past. From here website: "But first, you notice the voice. Where so many songwriters stretch for their highest notes, hoping to impress and astound, Duvekot bravely mines her deep reaches, where the dark feelings lurk. It softens her phrasing, leading us in with whispers, letting us know she believes every word she sings. Her melodies seem like suddenly occurring thoughts, matching the hushed, conversational allure of her singing. They feel so immediate, so in synch with her lyrics; and yet also snugly rooted, oddly familiar, like memories you can't quite recall. She sings, and writes, as if she thinks songs are important; not means to an end, but tools of survival. And for her, that's just what they are."
