Gordon Bok (born October 31, 1939) is a singer/songwriter who was born in Pennsylvania and grew up in rural Maine. His first album, A Tune for November, was produced in 1970 by Noel Paul Stookey. He is best known for his recordings with Ed Trickett and Ann Mayo Muir.
Bok's solo work is made up of songs, some traditional and some recently written, feature his deep, low singing voice. He accompanies himself with acoustic guitar. His collaborative work covers similar material but with vocal harmony and a greater variety of instrumentation.
Bok plays the 12 string guitar, a difficult instrument to master because of the complexity of fingering and the physical finger strength and dexterity required. He also plays an unusual instrument he calls a cembala, which is essentially a cello fitted with frets.
