Hey There. I'm Charlie.

You may know me as Coven Dove, my pen name. Like any poet, I had to have one. I made this page in hopes you can get to know me better. I am Charlie Tuckness, a singer-songwriter, teacher, and classically trained violinist. Come learn a little more about me, my story, and what makes me Coven Dove.

My Journey

My career in performance began in early high school playing violin and viola in a nationally recognized symphonic orchestra. After graduation, I quickly found myself as the front woman of an indie-pop band in the University of North Texas music scene. Once I was out in the "real world", I became a corporate worker spending 9-5 in cubicle. But I didn't stop dreaming. In 2020, the market crashed and I was informed that the company I worked for could no longer afford to keep me on. So, I packed my car and moved from my studio apartment in Dallas, Texas up to a small cabin above a wood-shop in Washington State. It was there that I recorded and released my first 8-track demo album Mortality under the pseudonym Coven Dove.

Now, don't be fooled, I have been writing songs since I was 10, composing worlds in my room that I thought no one would hear. But it wasn't until college that I realized the stories I had inside me were endless, and I had to share. I've been working to connect with as many people as I can since, and I have found that so many live a life similar to mine - one full of love, loss, and magic. As a composer and a romantic, Coven Dove deep dives into humanity with soft eyes and an open heart. It's a project born out of influence from many different corners of art, music and literature.

You can find me with my guitar in coffee bars, clubs, and around campfires weaving heartfelt stories and sharing my experiences through song. Otherwise, I am probably in the studio, pulling tarot cards, or gazing at the stars.
