Adrian Galvin, based in Los Angeles, performs folk pop under the moniker Yoke Lore. His debut record, "Toward a Never Ending New Beginning," reflects his view of life as a series of transitions, encompassing celebrations, moments of sadness, and stillness. Galvin, who grew up in a creative and spiritual New York family, has been deeply involved in music throughout his life, also exploring dance and co-founding the dance company Boomerang in the mid-2010s. He creates much of the visual art for Yoke Lore, describing it as a cohesive form of expression drawn from his varied experiences.
The banjo has been a central influence for Galvin, shaping the sound of Yoke Lore. Starting the project with a focus on the banjo, he has steadily gained recognition in the indie music scene. Galvin values the live performance aspect of his music, regularly touring and opening for artists like Bastille and Bishop Briggs. Through these experiences, he gains insight into how his music resonates with audiences, shaping his understanding of his own work.
