Dore is currently with several groups in several genres. With his two recent CDs ‘Life’s A Beach’ and ‘Bermudagrass ‘ he brings all these influences together.
“This skilled singer-songwriter is also an in-demand guitarist and multi-instrumentalist. His music is reflective of the crisp, clean playing that makes this CD an example of some very fine Marin musicianship..The epitome of the professional working musician, “

“It's one of those very rare albums where EVERY song is outstanding! I am really enjoying it.” Fritz Horisk, Air Personality & Producer at WSIG Radio, Staunton VA
