An Evening w/ David Berkeley and Antje Duvekot
Singer-songwriters David Berkeley and Antje Duvekot take the stage at DROM for a night of folk that is sonic, intimate, and vulnerable.
David Berkeley’s gift as a songwriter and storyteller is that he sees the tragedy and comedy in life, writing songs capable of both breaking and healing the heart. Berkeley has been called a “musical poet,” by the San Francisco Chronicle, and the New York Times praises his “lustrous, melancholy voice with shades of Tim Buckley and Nick Drake.” That voice and his gift with words is what first sets Berkeley apart from all other guitar-slinging songwriters. But it is his onstage charisma and unparalleled between-song repartee that truly puts him in a class by himself. Each show is completely unique, and David’s humanity shines through every note he sings and every word he speaks. Berkeley has released seven studio albums, one live album, and authored two books, each of which pairs with one of his albums. He tours all over the country and world and has opened/toured with Dido, Don McLean, Ben Folds, Billy Bragg, Ray Lamontagne, Nickel Creek and many more. He was a Kerrville New Folk winner, a New Song and Rocky Mountain Folks Festival Finalist. His 2017 release was a never-before tried concept: a novella comprising ten intertwining stories and an album of ten accompanying songs (one for each story). His latest album is Oh Quiet World, written during the lockdown after he and his family escaped Spain. It’s an incredible timestamp on a profound moment in our collective history, and Berkeley manages to distill the fear and uncertainty into something exquisite and uplifting.
Antje Duvekot was born in Germany and moved to the United States in her teens. She has toured across the country, at festivals such as Newport Folk Festival, Mountain Stage, Philadelphia, Kerrville Festivals, and more. Around the world, she has headlined the Celtic Connections Festival in Scotland and the Tonder Festival in Denmark. Duvekot has received her accolades for her songwriting skills. She won the Grand Prize in the John Lennon Songwriting Competition and the "Best New Folk Award" at Kerrville.
