Old Sloop Coffeehouse presents a concert by Gordon Bok with Daisy Nell and Capt. Stan opening. Gordon Bok learned many tunes, sea songs, stories, legends and ballads from the people he worked with in the shipyards of Camden, Maine. Where he couldn't find songs that matched his experiences or needs, he began to write his own, and has kept up a lively flow of poems, songs, stories, choral and instrumental works. Daisy Nell is known for her broad repertoire of traditional folk, chanteys, and contemporary songs. Her husband, Capt. Stan, adds his guitar and dobro to Daisy's banjo and guitar. Together they cover a lot of territory, from the foc's'le to the farm! Coffee, tea, and a variety of delicious and very popular home-made baked pie and cake will be sold before and after the concert and at intermission.
