I was just about a minute late into the set due to getting my tab paid late at the bar (ha, it’s really my own fault) and the show started off on the wrong foot for myself. Galvin started his set promptly at 9:15PM with his song “Beige,” which happens to be my personal favorite. His catch phrase, which is all over his social media, reads “The stories of how we are bound.” “Yoke Lore” is the idea of sharing stories and experiences that define a person and being able to create a connection with someone over shared experiences, which is what Adrian hopes to do with his music. The word “yoke” is defined as “a wooden crosspiece that is fastened over the necks of two animals and attached to the plow or cart that they are to pull.” See an image below:Ī lore is a sort of storytelling that is usually passed down through time by word of mouth. You’re probably wondering what exactly Yoke Lore means – which is something I wondered as well after I stumbled upon his music over the fall last year. His first true musical passion stemmed from learning to play the drums. These forms of self-expression were evident throughout his childhood and was continuously immersed in painting, photography and ballet. Galvin grew up with extremely artistic parents – his mom was a director, his father an actor and sculptor. Despite his past projects performing in Walk The Moon and Yellerkin, Galvin seems most at home performing under Yoke Lore. He toured with acts like Aquilo and Overcoats, released his second EP, Good Pain, and even had a debut performance at SXSW last March. Adrian Galvin, the brains behind the operation – had a busy 2017. I ventured to Schubas Tavern – a small bar in Lakeview whose back room has a capacity of just 165 – to see one of my favorite rising acts of the moment, Yoke Lore.
My first show of 2018 came and went in just about an hour.
