The concept of a singer-songwriter can actually be traced to ancient bardic culture, which has existed in various forms throughout the world[citation needed]. Poems would be performed as chant or song, sometimes accompanied by a harp or other similar instrument. After the invention of printing, songs would be written and performed by ballad sellers. Usually these would be versions of existing tunes and lyrics, which were constantly evolving. This developed into the singer–songwriting traditions of folk culture. Traveling performers existed throughout Europe.
