Various artists — Never Give Up: Celebrating 10 Years of The Postal Service

Few indie bands have had the impact on current music that The Postal Service has. Even fewer have done so with only one album.

Big Worm — Bench All-Stars

Fans of the comedy classic Friday may recognize the name Big Worm, but the Big Worm behind Bench All-Stars is rooted not in South Central L.A., but on the streets of Oklahoma City.

Code 22 — Going Soft: The Acoustic Album!

The guys of Oklahoma City’s Code 22 seem like a likable group of fellas. Their latest release, Going Soft: The Acoustic Album!, is likable enough as well — so likable that on first listen, I took its clean, acoustic sound and clear, unstressed vocals as an alternative praise-and-worship band.

Eureeka — Polysynthetic Fields

It’s always refreshing to hear music that embraces its own eccentricity, yet presents it in an accessible and meek fashion. Eureeka — the Norman-based duo of Jordan Vargas and Devin Wahl — has tapped into this rarified air on its self-released EP, Polysynthetic Fields.

Tom Skinner — Tom Skinner

Sincerity is nearly dead in songwriting. The image of the earnest singer with eyes tightly shut and a crack in his voice as he plunges to emotional depths has become a joke.

When vibrant singer/songwriter Antje Duvekot took the stage last year in Norman's Winter Wind concert series, things weren't exactly going her way. The weather was bad, she was exhausted from traveling, and her guitar was lost at the airport.

But the German-born performer took it all in stride, borrowed a guitar from one of the locals, and put on a fantastic show for a capacity crowd at the Performing Arts Studio in the historic Santa Fe Train Depot.

"I loved my trip to Oklahoma, even though my guitar didn't make it," said Duvekot. "I can't wait to come back. I was just telling my press agent that two of my favorite places from my tour last year were Oklahoma and Canada."

WINNING STREAK
The Winter Wind crowd must have loved her, too, for Duvekot was invited to return to Norman for Sunday's encore performance. And this time, she'll have a new guitar with her: a Gibson Hummingbird.

"I do worry about taking it on the plane, though," she said.

Duvekot, who now lives in Boston, has big-league folk credentials:
" She won the prestigious Kerrville New Folk Competition;
" The Boston Globe named her debut studio CD, "Big Dream Boulevard," as the best folk album of the year; and
" Bank of America recently used one of her songs for a commercial.

"That was quite a surprise," said Duvekot.

And it didn't hurt financially either, she admitted. "Jim Chastain
