The Renaissance Man of Martha’s Vineyard
With all the treasures it has to offer, the beautiful island of Martha Vineyard is also home to writer and folk singer Mark Alan Lovewell. A Renaissance man of many talents, he enjoys sharing his passions for folk singing, journalism, sailing, and stargazing with those interested in a unique, local perspective of all the island has to offer. Whether he’s performing his sea chanties on stage among fellow FisherPoets, capturing happy families and the Island’s stunning seasons from behind his lens, or memorializing history in his articles, Mark’s passion for the sea is evident throughout his work.

“There is plenty of good reason
To hold this candle up high.
A way to light our night.
We’ve fished together for a long, long time.”

Enjoy Mark’s music from afar
Home with Molly and Mark is Mark’s newest joint release with Molly Conole.
Molly & Mark have each in their own way spent years on Martha’s Vineyard collecting mementos, songs and stories. They’ve shared a love of this special island with their families and friends. Now they’ve found each other and brought their shiniest pieces of sea glass to share with you.
Their hope is that you take these songs – old and new – home through the seasons, to feel warm on a chilly winter night while sitting next to a fire burning in the fireplace, or to feel salty cool from an ocean breeze late on a hot summer day.
They hope you feel at home.
