Maine folk singer and songwriter Gordon Bok will take the Meetinghouse Arts Gallery stage at 4 p.m. Saturday, April 15.
Bok grew up around the boatyards of Camden. In his early years, he worked on a variety of vessels, from passenger schooners to yachts. He learned many tunes, sea songs, stories, legends and ballads from the people he worked with. Where he couldn’t find songs that matched his experiences or needs, he began to write his own, and has kept up a flow of poems, songs, stories, choral and instrumental works.
