Antje Duvekot & Lucy Kaplansky: Tractor Tavern, Seattle, WA 5/10/07

Boston-based Antje Duvekot recently opened a well-attended show headlined by Lucy Kaplansky at Seattle’s Tractor Tavern, and the two put on a wonderful show.

And if you want to see which bands are playing in which time slots, they’ve already released the schedule of events. Bully for us.
