We're delighted Gordon Bok will be back in Woods Hole this season. Don't miss his velvety baritone voice as he paints aural pictures of sailors, seals, schooners and mythical sea folk. Growing up around the boatyards of Camden, Maine, he taught himself to sing and play guitar, and began writing songs based on the experiences of real people he knew who lived on the water. Master of both the 6- and 12-string guitars, Gordon has since made over twenty albums. Many other musicians have also recorded his songs. A teacher of choral singing and writing at summer music camps, and a superb storyteller, he often introduces songs in concert with a bit of their origin and history. "There is something deeply rooted, ancient and timeless to his songs," says Scott Alarik of Sing Out!, "yet he is an utter original." Gordon Bok's unique style is what continues to draw scores of fans to his performances in concert halls, coffeehouses and festivals throughout North America, Great Britain and Scandinavia. Don't miss catching him right in our own backyard.
