Bertolf (full name Bertolf Lentink) is a Dutch singer-songwriter singing in English. His repertoire varies from Sixties and Seventies influenced pop to Americana and roots music. His early days as a singer-songwriter by the end of the noughties coincided with the job of multi-instrumentalist in Ilse DeLange’s (country pop) band. As a solo artist he scored a Top 10 hit with Another Day in 2009. The next year he won a Silver Harp, a renowned industry award for talented newcomers.
In the years that followed he recorded five solo albums as well as a bandproject under the flag of Color Reporters. His 2019 album Big Shadows of Small Things marked his Excelsior Recordings label debut. The album merged pop sensibility with the melancholy of the Americana wastelands. In 2021 his sixth album Happy In Hindsight boasts a return to upbeat pop songs with strong choruses. It was mainly recorded ‘corona-proof’ all by himself at home in his shed in the garden in his hometown Zwolle. It was finished in Amsterdam with the help of his long-time collaborator, producer Frans Hagenaars.
In 2023 his album ‘Bluefinger’ will be released. It was recorded in Nashville with the help of Bluegrass greats like Jerry Douglas, Stuart Duncan and Mark Schatz.
