Few things in the world seem to improve as time passes, but
one thing that has actually gotten better over the years is Passim. I started
going there in the late 1980s, when, as I recall, the shows were relatively short
and Bob would stand in the back, holding up a finger to alert performers they
could do just one more song. The vibe is much warmer these days, at least from
my perspective, and Club Passim has become one of my favorite places to catch a show. One thing that has not changed is the high quality of
performers the venue attracts. While I was in Massachusetts the last couple of
weeks, I got a chance to see Antje Duvekot there. If you are into the
singer/songwriter scene, you likely are already aware of what an absolutely wonderful
performer she is. If you haven’t yet heard her music, I highly recommend
checking her out. At the show on the nineteenth (the early show – she did two
concerts that day), she played some new material, including “Open Waters,”
which is about stepping out of one’s comfort zone, and “Traces,” which she
described as “
a COVID romance song.”
It came as no surprise, of course, that her new material is really good. I’m
looking forward to her next album.
Here are a few photos from the show:
