After crisscrossing the globe performing at clubs and festivals from Newport to Denmark, Antje Duvekot makes her Merryall debut on Aug. 5 at 8 p.m. Born in Germany, she arrived in Boston, as a guitar-totting teen. Very quickly, she established a reputation as one of the area”™s top song writing talents with her debut studio release “Big Dream Boulevard” and follow-up albums “Highwire Dancer” and “New Siberia.” That debut CD was produced by Seamus Egan, founder of the Irish super group Solas and quickly attracted international attention, being voted No.1 Folk Release of the year by the “Boston Globe” and named to the Top 10 Releases of the year by NPR”™s Folk Alley.
“”¦The process of expressing myself in song over the last few decades has found resonance with my listeners and shown that when one makes art that is personal one is often making art that is universal. I”™m very excited to perform and share my art at the Merryall Center,” said Duvekot.
The Merryall Center is a nonprofit arthouse and community center located at 8 Chapel Hill Road in New Milford.
Tickets for the performance are available at merryallcenter.org.
