Lieven Scheerlinck

Lieven Scheelinck is a Belgian folk singer-songwriter who lives in Barcelona. He records under the nom-de-plume A Singer of Songs, the name taken from the Johnny Cash song of the same name.[1] His music has been described as 'Low-fi lullaby folk that falls on the ears as gently as snowflakes.'[2]

He collaborated with New Zealand singer-songwriter Hollie Fullbrook (recording as Tiny Ruins) on the EP Little Notes.[3] In May 2010 he toured Northern Spain with Fullbrook and Ana Franco from Coffee & Wine,[4] with the EP being recorded in Scheelinck's flat at the end of the tour.[5] He has also collaborated with Withered Hand (AKA Dan Willson) on the EP Among Horses I.[6] The EP was written and recorded in one week at 'an organic farm in the middle of nowhere.'[7]
