Our songs of Martha’s Vineyard
Molly Conole & Mark Alan Lovewell
Mark Alan Lovewell comes from Martha’s Vineyard, an island off the coast of Massachusetts. He is a Renaissance man, a storyteller, sea chantey singer, musician, writer, and photographer. If there is but one glue connecting all those skills together, it is his exuberant love for the sea and its lore. Yes, you might say he is a renaissance man of the sea.

Water & fogbow photos by 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.
