Loes van Schaijk

Originally from the Netherlands, Loes van Schaijk is a singer-songwriter and instrumentalist based in Prague, Czech Republic. In European bluegrass and folk circles she is praised for her heart-felt vocal delivery, natural sound, original songwriting, and for her sensibility and timing as a bass, guitar and bodhrán player. Music movitates Loes’s every move in life—and vice versa. Her songs convey her search for human connection, for “home”; her insatiable curiosity and appreciation of ambiguity; and her (often slightly self-depricating) sense of humor. A storyteller first and foremost, Loes tries to steer clear of grand gestures and instead brings a natural sound, charisma, and a memorable smile. Because of this, people have compared her style to June Tabor, Joni Mitchell, Karine Polwart, and Tracy Chapman. Loes will make her solo debut with All I Ever Really Seem To Say in November, 2021. Previous releases with other projecrts: Perfect Match For Trouble (Waterflow), Here to Distract You (Red Herring), Kaleidoscope Tales (Lucy & The Man).
