Luke Pavlus Returns to The Glove Theatre
The 518 Concert Series welcomes Luke Pavlus back to The Glove. Luke is an incredibly promising up-and-coming singer/songwriter from right here in Gloversville! Luke is no stranger to The Glove Mainstage, having performed here since he was a kid. Luke performed at The Glove last January ? and received such a great response, we asked him to come back!!! High Vibrations Media said this about Luke?s last Glove show: ?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.? We agree with Penny ? Luke is going places ? and we are so happy to have him perform at The Glove! Be sure to catch this show! All ages welcome! 21+ to drink with valid I.D.

Honorary Committee tickets are still available. What is the ?Foundation Experience?? The Foundation was formed in 1811 in response to the growing temperance movement in Saratoga during that time. The town placed a ban on gambling, drinking, and dance, resulting in the suffering of the local arts and culture. Simultaneously, Gideon Putnam began developing Congress Hall Hotel, where arts patrons could congregate in secret and indulge in forbidden activities and culture, while regular hotel business carried on around and above them. The Foundation held hidden performances, drinking, dances, card games, circus acts, and more ? all while its members worked covertly towards public acceptance of artistic recreation. Eventually Congress Hall was demolished. However ? the Saratoga Arts building now sits on Congress Hall?s footprint, and so The Foundation lives on? In an effort to subvert what?s come to be expected from a typical gala, Saratoga Arts? Foundation events offer guests something different. Our Foundation events include all the familiar features: food, libation, and music while inviting the audience to engage in entertainment in new and unexpected ways ? a kind of ?Experiential Art?? with very few details being shared prior. The Foundation aims to push boundaries in our creative community and surprise our patrons with innovative artistic experiences. See less Saratoga Springs, New York

The Alec Lewis Group at The Glove Theatre
The 518 Concert series has a treat for you ? The Alec Lewis Group! The ALG sports a fresh mix of contemporary funk influences from Cory Wong to Kruangbin, fused with guitar-driven classic rock and blues elements drawn from the likes of Dire Straits and David Gilmour, all topped with a modern pop sensibility and vocal stylings that firmly root the group and its sonic blueprint in our modern musical DNA. According to front man, Alec Lewis in a recent An Xperience Interview ? by Liam Sweeny: ?Our influences are fairly specific. And I frequently reference these influences as a sort of north star for our band while writing new material. I find that this helps maintain a consistency across our music and gives our repertoire a succinct and identifiable blueprint. I have three main inspirations musically for this band: Cory Wong and the Vulfpeck universe, Dire Straits, and Steely Dan (likely in that order). I believe our music certainly is an extension of these artists. We have high energy funk grooves inspired by Cory Wong, Vulpeck and The Fearless Flyers. We have mid tempo, minor key bluesy tunes that I aim to remind people of Mark Knopfler with his kind of finger picking style. And I think the Steely Dan influence is not so direct in our music, sonically, but I don?t think people are surprised by the fact that Steely Dan is one of my favorite bands. We are a relatively new band, having played our very first show in February 2024. And we are releasing our first studio project very soon on 2/7/2025. It will be a four song EP titled Don?t Cross Me. Being a sound engineer myself, I take recording very seriously. I have music under my own name as a ?solo artist,? this will be the first official release of The Alec Lewis Group as a band and separate project. And rightfully so this was a big group effort. Drums recorded at The Jive Hive and built up from there at my home studio. Myself and Noah worked throughout the summer and fall of this year honing in the guitar and bass parts. It is a guitar record. It is tight. It is punchy and catchy. It?s sarcastic and quirky. It?s fun and I think you?ll agree, so please give us listen come 2/7 and search for The Alec Lewis Group wherever you stream your music.? All ages welcome! Age 21+ to drink adult beverages.

The Martin Book Prize winner will deliver an address, followed by an opportunity for audience questions. The program will feature tributes from family and friends who cherished Jim and his lasting influence. About James Kirby Martin ?Historians have debated and argued about the causes of the American Revolution for nearly two centuries.? Jim Martin wrote this in 1973 as the first line of the preface to his first book, Men in Rebellion. ?More properly, perhaps,? he continued, ?students of the Revolution have sought to identify and explain . . . the reasons why provincial Americans, nurtured for over a century and a half under the seemingly benevolent guidance of Great Britain, threw off attachments to British sovereignty.? Of course it is now two and a half centuries since the Revolution changed the course of world history, but Jim?s observation remains every bit as germane to historians today. He spent a career pursuing those very questions. His career was indeed distinguished. His interest in the Revolution emerged during his undergraduate years at Hiram College and sharpened in his doctoral studies under Merrill Jensen at the University of Wisconsin. He moved through the ranks from assistant professor to professor at Rutgers University, where he also served as vice president for academic affairs before moving to the University of Houston. There he completed his teaching career as Hugh Roy and Lilli Cranz Cullen University Professor of History. As a scholar, he was formidable. The author, co-author, or editor of a dozen books and scores of articles, chapters and papers, Jim?s work derived from rigorous scholarship. He believed in evidence?the primary sources?and interpretations based on solid foundations; he had little patience for academic fads and history driven by ideological zealotry or preconceived conclusions. Americans have so often looked at the Revolution through the lens of modern groups or political agendas, but Jim Martin insisted that an honest effort to understand the past compelled the historian to search for the perspectives of those who actually confronted events?not knowing what the future held. He was an honest historian. Jim?s interests in the Revolution were expansive, and titles such as Men in Rebellion, A Respectable Army, Forgotten Allies, Citizen Soldier, and Benedict Arnold have stood the test of time and established his reputation as an authority on the military and political aspects of the revolutionary struggle. His work has won several important awards. The academy seldom produces historians who do so much so well. It was this consistent performance that saw him receive a senior fellowship at the Smith National Library at Mount Vernon and prestigious visiting professorships at The Citadel and the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. Martin was a generous and engaging individual. He enjoyed collaborating with other scholars and over the years he worked with some of the best in the profession. He delighted in taking history beyond the academy, and over the years Jim gave his time to board memberships and advisory roles at Fort Ticonderoga, the Fort Plain Museum, and the Oneida Indian Nation. He presented frequently before learned societies and was a riveting speaker, but he took special pleasure in speaking to local historical organizations and such groups as the Mount Vernon Ladies Association, the Society of the Cincinnati, the DAR, and the SAR (of which he was a proud member). Jim even had a ?starring role? as Colonel Moses Hazen in the film Benedict Arnold: Hero Betrayed. He was nothing if not versatile.
