Florence Dore

Nashville-born, Chapel Hill-based Florence Dore has just finished recording her second record, Highways and Rocketships with Mitch Easter and Don Dixon. Even not counting the pandemic, the road from her first record Perfect City to Highways and Rocketships has been anything but straight. She spent a lot of time between then and now riding around on Steve Earles tour bus, catching up with her Dukes-drumming husband Will Rigby, wrote a book, put on a conference at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, took a seat on the board at the Bob Dylan Institute--and had a kid. Way back in 1994 Florences song Christmas came out on a Geffen release, and over the first pandemic months, when she had to suspend recording plans for Highways and Rocketships, she co-created Cover Charge, the charting compilation of NC artists to benefit Cats Cradle.

When vaccines arrived, work on Highways and Rocketships resumed with Don Dixon and Mitch Easter at the helm. The record is finally here.
