Artist Bio

OURSTAGE LOCAL TALENT SEARCH WINNER

Winterbloom is the side-project of five successful, touring singer-songwriters - Antje Duvekot, Anne Heaton, Meg Hutchinson, Rose Polenzani and Natalia Zukerman. While carving their own paths in indie Folk, Americana, Pop and Singer-Songwriter music, each have celebrated one another's accomplishments on the road, and fostered the spirit of collaboration in the Boston music scene back at home.

They first toured together as "Winterbloom" in November 2009 (see below). They have banded together again, this time to write and record a new song "The Alchemist" for the Ourstage Lilith Fair competition. And they will be offering a collectors CD sampler exclusively at the Boston show of the Lilith Fair called "Winterbloom at Lilith" - more details to come!

Each artist regularly sells out shows in premium Boston area listening rooms and theaters. They have appeared together and separately on NPR (All Things Considered, Soundcheck, Mountain Stage, Folk Alley, Here and Now), XM (Bob Edwards, The Loft, The Village) as well as Massachusetts, Maine and New Hampshire Public Radio, WERS and WUMB in Boston, among other programs. Their shows are pre/reviewed by Boston publications including The Boston Globe, The Boston Herald, The Boston Phoenix, Improper Bostonian. Outside of Boston, they have also received coverage from The New York Times, TimeOut (New York, Chicago, London), New Yorker, Chicago Tribune, The Washington Post, and many other first rate papers across the country. Their music is heard in advertising - Antje Duvekot (Bank of America), Meg Hutchinson (Target).

They have individually opened for the finest artists touring today - including the Indigo Girls, Ani Difranco, Shawn Colvin, David Gray, Patty Griffin, Joan Baez, Jonatha Brooke, Martin Sexton, Jewel, Richie Havens, Janis Ian, Richard Shindell, Ellis Paul, John Gorka, Susan Werner, Chris Trapper, Glen Phillips, Catie Curtis, Willy Porter, Kelly Joe Phelps... the list of brilliant performers who have encouraged these new songwriters along the way goes on.
