Antje Duvekot
Antje Duvekot is a German-born, American-raised singer/songwriter whose songs have been critically praised for their hard-won wisdom, dark-eyed realism and street-smart romanticism. Her bicultural upbringing and relative newness to English have helped shape her unique way with a song, giving her a startlingly original poetic palette. They are the keys to the powerful, even revolutionary, empathy that informs everything she writes. She has won some of the top songwriting awards including the Grand Prize in the John Lennon Songwriting Competition, the Kerrville Folk Festival Best New Folk Award and the Boston Music Award for Outstanding Folk Act.
Since the release of her debut studio CD "Big Dream Boulevard," which was voted #1 Folk Release of 2006 by the Boston Globe and was named to the Top 10 Releases of the Year by National Public Radio's Folk Alley, Antje has been touring extensively, criss-crossing the US and Europe. She is a compelling live performer and has played at major festivals, including Newport, Mountain Stage, Philadelphia, Falcon Ridge, Great Waters and Kerrville. Her second CD "The Near Demise of the High Wire Dancer" was voted top album of 2009 by lauded folk station WUMB 91.9 FM in Boston.
"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." - Neil Dorfsman, producer of Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Sting, Dire Straits
"terrific writer and singer, with the instincts to do things right, over and over and over" - Rolling Stone.
A seasoned folk artist at age 18, Hayley Reardon is known for her thoughtful, vivid songwriting and engaging stage performance. Over the past five years, she has shared the stage with the likes of Tom Rush, Peter Yarrow, Buskin & Batteau, Christine Lavin, Lori McKenna, Mark Erelli, and Catie Curtis. She has been selected for official showcases at Folk Alliance International and New England Regional Folk Alliance, as well as The Boston Folk Festival, New York Songwriter's Circle, and Falcon Ridge Folk Festival Emerging Artist Showcase.
In 2012, The Boston Globe Magazine named Hayley a Bostonian of the Year for both her music and her work to pair it with a message of teen empowerment, calling her "a confident, radiant teenage singer/songwriter who is helping to pen the next chapter of the Boston folk scene." That same year, she appeared in the award-winning documentary "For The Love of the Music: The Club 47 Folk Revival," which won Best Documentary at the 2012 Boston International Film Fest.
Hannah Hoffman is a soulful soprano who delivers an emotional depth to her sound reminiscent of an early Tori Amos, Jewel and Regina Spektor. She is a versatile performer who engages her audience with dynamic performances not only of her own composing but an eclectic mix of standards she commands as her own.
