Antje Duvekot (/ˈɑːntjə ˈduːvəkɑːt/ AUNT-yuh DOO-va-kott; born 1976 in Heidelberg, Germany) is a singer-songwriter and guitarist based in Somerville, Massachusetts. She holds three top songwriting awards including the Kerrville New Folk Competition's Best New Folk Award, Boston Music Award for Outstanding Folk Act, and Grand Prize in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest.
Duvekot moved to Delaware at the age of 13. 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 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 Newark, Delaware, where she had attended the University of Delaware.

We bid our friends goodbye We promised we would write them And headed north up 95 Into the great unknown We turned up our stereo And felt so reckless and alive We didn't know who we would be We didn't know where we would end up When we headed down that road A little food and our guitars In the backseat and that old cello The one that would get stolen In a town in Idaho And it's a long way to Michigan and back And it's a long way Cause it's a long way, the clouds upon our backs And it's a long, long, long, long way And I have never seen Reflections of the cleanest Of blue as the Minnesota lakes Those were the longest nights Of wood smoke and Northern Lights As we talked until the morning came The light of glowing embers As...

i wrote this song about the middle east conflict. i've never been but i've always felt moved in reading about the region and sad for the people on both sides of the conflict who are just trying to live their lives in peace. this recording is from a recent show i played at Empty Sea in seattle. the footage is from the DeCordova museum near my house in Lincoln. "Jerusalem" by Antje Duvekot So, a city wakes up in the morning And all the infidels get in their cars As a feather is floating bread it is broken And driven into your heart Cause you live in a town that is delicate Where old grudges run deeper than mud Where peace is a term that is relative And written in blood Jerusalem, Jerusalem Oh, you lie bleeding in the doorways of Eden Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Jerusalem Another city wake...

Antje Duvekot performs at Front Porch House Concerts - Boulder, Colorado - May 16, 2009.
I first met Antje Duvekot sometime around 1996. She was 18 at the time, and a student at Swarthmore College. About a year later I produced a monthly concert series at the Sedgwick Theater in Mt Airy Section of Philadelphia. Antje had really just started her music career. She's come a long way since. She opened for someone. I think it might have been Greg Greenway, but I can't remember.

Antje Duvekot "Long Way" http://www.antjeduvekot.com
Antje Duvekot performs at Front Porch House Concerts May 16, 2009
We bid our friends goodbye
We promised we would write them
And headed north up 95 Into the great unknown
We turned up our stereo
And felt so reckless and alive
We didn't know who we would be
We didn't know where we would end up
When we headed down that road
A little food and our guitars
In the backseat and that old cello
The one that would get stolen
In a town in Idaho
And it's a long way to Michigan and back
And it's a long way
Cause it's a long way, the clouds upon our backs
And it's a long, long, long, long way
And I have never seen
Reflections of the cleanest
Of blue as the Minnesota lakes
Those were the longest nights
Of wood smoke and Northern Lights
As we talked until the morning came
The light of glowing embers
As sweet as I remember
Among the rustling of the trees
The legend of the harvest moon
And sweet ballad of the loon
I felt as ancient as I was meant to be
And it's a long way to Washington and back
And it's a long way
Cause it's a long way, the clouds upon our backs
And it's a long, long, long, long way
I called you from a payphone In windy, cold Missoula
And then from Midland in the rain
A place as proud and sad as
The South Dakota badlands
It touched me more than I could explain
The dirt poor reservation
Where the Avala nation
Tries to hang on to its ways
Feather and Peyote pipe and
A six pack of Miller Light
Sits on the dashboard of a beat up Chevrolet
And it's a long way to Tennessee and back
And it's a long way
Cause it's a long way on the worn out heels of Kerouac
And it's a long, long, long, long way
Out in California
We touched the other ocean
And I still have that jar of sand In the Arizona desert
The sky goes on forever
You've never seen a thing as grand
And North Montana was cold
She keeps her secrets frozen
Under glaciers way up north
And people have got lost up there
In the home of the grizzly bear
And you can ask the mountain
But the mountain doesn't care
And it's a long way to Delaware and back
And it's a long way
Cause it's a long way, the clouds up on our backs
And it's a long, long, long, long way
Cause it's a long way on the worn out heels of Kerouac
