Antje Duvekot, Lizzy Mandell to perform at Hooker-Dunham Theater

Wednesday, June 26, 2013 — Issue 209

BRATTLEBORO — Twilight Music presents award-winning contemporary folk singer-songwriter Antje Duvekot and Vermont-based singer-songwriter Lizzy Mandell in concert at Hooker-Dunham Theater & Gallery, 139 Main St., on Friday, June 28, at 7:30 p.m.

German-born, American-raised Duvekot crafts songs that have been critically praised for their hard-won wisdom, dark-eyed realism and street-smart romanticism.

Vermont-based Lizzy Mandell offers a soulful voice and compelling lyrics and melodies that take listeners on a sonic tour of the American landscape, from mountain farms to desert towns to ocean shores and back again.

Tickets are $16 general admission, $14 students and seniors.
