Nashville-born, Chapel Hill-based Florence Dore’s newest record, "Highways & Rocketships," recorded with Mitch Easter and Don Dixon, won Best Americana Album of the Year at Lonesome Highway Magazine. Even not counting the pandemic, the road from her first record "Perfect City" to "Highways & Rocketships" has been anything but straight.
She spent a lot of time between then and now riding around on Steve Earle’s tour bus, catching up with her Dukes-drumming husband Will Rigby (also of the legendary dB’s), wrote a couple books, 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.
Back in 1994 the Posies covered Florence’s song “Christmas” for the Geffen release, "Just Say Noel," and over the first pandemic months, when she had to suspend recording plans for "Highways & Rocketships," she co-created "Cover Charge," the charting compilation of NC artists to benefit Cat’s Cradle. She is currently working on her third album, "Hold the Spark," due out in 2025.
