John Mock is an artist and the sea and its coasts are his muse. From New England to Chincoteague to Ireland, the Atlantic’s beautiful coastline and quaint villages, its wooden boats and whitewashed lighthouses, continue to inspire and inform John’s art. He captures in music and in photographs the heritage of the sea.

John shares this heritage with audiences everywhere through his elegant and unique concert presentation. Audiences enjoy John’s casual narration and storytelling, which enliven the characters and places upon which the music is based. John’s own photography is projected onto a screen behind him and provides a beautiful backdrop for the music.

A native of Connecticut’s eastern shore, John’s work has taken him around the world. Widely sought after as a composer, arranger and multi-instrumentalist, he has worked with such notable artists as the Dixie Chicks, James Taylor, Nanci Griffith, Maura O’Connell, Sylvia, Kathy Mattea and Mark O’Connor. John’s credits as a composer and featured artist include performances with, among others, the Nashville Chamber Orchestra and the Southwest Michigan Symphony Orchestra.
“... this music has the feel of clapboard and canvas,
rustic inns and whitewashed lighthouses.
The salt air breathes inside it.” - Amazon.com review


“The Day At Sea speaks to us of places
where the spirit of the old still thrives and renews itself
in lore, art and music.” “... stunning and soul-stirring...
John Mock has absorbed the maritime geography, internalized it,
and fashioned it into a different kind of coastline washed in melody and harmony.”
- Craig Bickhardt
“This is a wonderful mental vacation to New England.
It conjures up images and impressions of the sea and its shore.”
- CD Baby.com review
