Merlyn Driver

Merlyn Driver is a singer songwriter and nature-focused musician, whose sound draws on folk, as well as other global and contemporary influences. Born in Orkney, an archipelago in the north of Scotland and raised on a smallholding without electricity, Merlyn spent much of his time outdoors and only started attending the local school in his teens. His critically acclaimed multi-artist album project, Simmerdim: Curlew Sounds (2022), released in partnership with the RSPB, received national UK radio play from BBC Radio 6, 3, and 2; and reviews from the likes of MOJO, Songlines Magazine (5 stars), and The Guardian. Merlyn’s show at LAC will coincide with the release of his debut solo album, It Was Also Sometimes Daylight
