Gordon Bok (born October 31, 1939)[1] is an American folklorist and singer-songwriter, who grew up in Camden, Maine and is associated with music from New England.
His second album, A Tune for November, was released on Sandy Paton's Connecticut-based Folk-Legacy label in 1970.
[1] His association with Folk-Legacy has continued since that time, though his more recent work (from the early 1990s on) has been released on his own label, Timberhead Music.
[4] As a songwriter, Bok draws on his experience in and around the working boat culture of the Gulf of Maine.
Additionally, Bok sings, in the original languages, folksongs from Italy, Portugal, Mongolia, French Canada, Latin America, and the Hebrides, among other places, and knows a huge body of old anglophone folklore.
