Luke Pavlus| The Glove Theatre

On January 10, Luke Pavlus delivered an unforgettable performance at The Glove Theatre in Gloversville, New York. As a hometown artist, watching Luke take the big stage in front of friends, family, and an adoring crowd was nothing short of magical. The most heartwarming part of the night? Hearing his father proudly cheering him on throughout the show—it was a beautiful, uplifting moment that made the entire evening feel extra special.

Luke is a true triple threat: a gifted songwriter, a powerful vocalist, and an exceptionally talented guitarist. But what makes him truly captivating is his infectious energy and charisma. His smile alone could light up even the darkest room, and it was clear he was in his element, sharing his passion for music with the audience.

The setlist was simply phenomenal. Luke showcased his versatility, seamlessly transitioning between acoustic and electric guitars. A standout moment for me was his incredible rendition of REO Speedwagon’s Don’t Let Him Go, complete with live looping on the acoustic—an absolute treat for an REO fan like me. He even snuck in a bit of Steely Dan, in yet another touching moment when he performed a bit of Peg and sang about his big debut, and let me tell you, Luke, it looked so good on you.

His original songs, like Gloomy Day and Dandelion Girl—the latter written for his beautiful girlfriend (sorry, ladies, he’s taken!)—highlighted his incredible songwriting talent and ability to connect deeply with his audience. 

The entire evening was a testament to Luke’s artistry and radiant personality. Watching him on stage was an absolute joy, and he made everyone in that room incredibly proud. If you get the chance to see Luke Pavlus perform now, don’t miss it—because it won’t be long before he’s selling out arenas.

All the best,
