Songwriting

Charlotte Anne Dore has been building puppets for over twenty five years and performing professionally with them for over 20 years. While completing her degree in theatre and visual art in Great Britain, she interned with Movingstage Marionette Company and Unicorn Theatre. Her graduate performance combined live actors and puppets in a production of  Shakespeare’s “Titus Andronicus”.

Who I Am
I'm a Somerville creative director and musician. Came of age in the decadent 80's, spent all of the 90's and a good chunk of the 00's playing my heart out in Boston rock bands, and now, quite frankly, I'm a little tired. Dad, husband, weekend woodshop warrior, compulsive writer and doodler.

What I Do for a Living

Chris moved to Somerville in 2005, right off the boat (he lived and worked on a boat for a year). His arting began as an actor, but he quickly realized that his true enjoyment came when standing behind a banjo or guitar, singing and playing songs with other people. He is a founding member of The Pennies, an Americana quartet with songs so familiar, you could swear you heard them before, until you realize, and are blown away (or at least mildly impressed) by their originality.
