Against The Grayne: 90s Grunge & Alt Rock at The Glove Theatre
The Glove proudly welcomes back Against the Grayne for a night of 90s grunge, alt rock and beyond. Against the Grayne plays your favorites from the era with a few ?odds? thrown in for fun!! It?s going to be an awesome time! Here?s what Penny Piper/RadioRadiox.com had to say about last year?s show at The Glove: ?Let me just say it: Against The Grayne is the ?90s grunge cover band you didn?t know you needed in your life until you see them live. As a proud Gen Xer who came of age during the golden era of flannel, distortion, and angsty lyrics, their performance at the Glove Theatre on April 4 [2025] transported me straight back to 1993 in the best way possible. These guys don?t just play the music?they embody it. Covering artists like Layne Staley and Chris Cornell is no small feat. You need nerves of steel and actual talent to pull it off, and lead singer Luke Baird has both in spades. His voice has that deep, smooth edge that makes you do a double-take, and he?s got the guts to get up there and own it. It?s not just about hitting the notes?it?s about capturing the raw emotion and energy of an era, and Luke does just that.? ?The setlist was flawless, hitting all the essentials?from Alice In Chains to Sublime?and even throwing in a few surprises. When they busted out Montell Jordan?s ?This Is How We Do It,? the crowd absolutely lost it. Everyone was on their feet, screaming the lyrics and dancing like it was the summer of ?95 again. That moment? Pure magic. But what really sets Against the Grayne apart is who they are. They?re the real deal: warm, kind, hilarious, and totally engaged with the crowd. Their stage presence was as entertaining as their music. Between songs, they had us laughing, sharing stories, and feeling like we were part of the show. It?s rare to see a band that talented also be that down-to-earth?and it?s why I felt compelled to write this.? Against the Grayne headlined an evening at Cohoes Rock the Block summer series in 2023, 2024 and 2025! Dig out the flannels, ripped jeans and combat boots and come have a fun night with us enjoying your favorites from the 90s! This show is sponsored by the Glove?s 518 Concert Series ? support live local 518 music!!!! All ages welcome! 21+ to drink with valid I.D.

The Glove Theatre can't wait to welcome back - Back to the Garden (BTTG) 1969 - The Woodstock Experience! What a blast we had with them last year! The Woodstock Music Festival was the ultimate rock concert, a celebration of peace, love and music. More than fifty years later, BTTG brings you back to the music and that weekend. Formed by Gary Adamson in 2009, this is a group of versatile musicians and singers who have come together to celebrate the music, and the spirit of the Woodstock Era. BTTG 1969 recreates the classic sounds associated with Woodstock. The musical performances are a tribute to the artists who made Woodstock great, including Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Jimi Hendrix, Sly &The Family Stone, Jefferson Airplane, Santana, Joe Cocker, Janis Joplin, The Band, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Canned Heat, Ten Years After, The Who, Mountain, Richie Havens, Melanie, Arlo Guthrie, Blood, Sweat & Tears, The Grateful Dead, Country Joe & The Fish,?and more! BTTG 1969 brings you a full multimedia theatrical event, recreating the Woodstock Experience through period costuming, lighting, video, and sound bites.

Best Friends Girl: America's Favorite Cars Experience
The Glove Theatre is proud to present Best Friends Girl ? America?s favorite CARS experience. Best Friends Girl recreates the timeless hits of The Cars spanning their 35-year career, with over 23 million albums sold and having more than 22 songs on the Billboard top 100. The Cars undoubtedly left their mark in popular culture with notable hits like ?Best Friend?s Girl,? ?Shake It Up,? ?Magic,? ?Let?s Go? and of course, ?Moving in Stereo? which gained notoriety from its placement in the movie ?Fast Times at Ridgemont High.? Best Friends Girl are comprised of lifelong, top-notch, professional musicians whose goal is to keep the music of The Cars alive with every performance! The Cars' journey began with Ric Ocasek and Benjamin Orr collaborating on several projects in the early 70's. Ric and Benjamin eventually completed the lineup with Greg Hawkes, Elliot Easton, and David Robinson in Boston in 1976. In the confusion left behind from the death of disco and the angst of punk, they forged a new direction bringing together the synthesizer sound with classic rock and roll roots. It created a unique sound for the time and icon John Lennon became a fan stating, ''I think The Cars? 'Touch and Go' is right out of the fifties ?Oh, oh?? A lot of it is fifties stuff. But with eighties styling.? Meet the Band: John Starr - Lead Vocals, Rhythm Guitar Like many young kids John's family thought it would be smart for him to learn how to play guitar, so at age 4 he began the roller coaster ride that has brought him here today. The lessons were a chore until he met a few friends that could play some instruments and then they put together a band and became musicians. Then in 7th grade he stepped on stage for the first time and the love affair began. Since then there have been thousands of stages and many different musician friends but the thrill has never gone away. Touring with several main stream acts playing guitar, bass or vocals, performing music has always been challenging and very rewarding. Along the way there has been a lot of song writing and also wearing the hat of a producer for some really cool acts. Now with Best Friends Girl he has settled down with 4 very talented professionals and loves every second that they get to perform together. The energy and the enjoyment have come full circle since the little boy first picked up his guitar. Kevin Gallagher - Lead Guitar Gary Bonneau - Bass Born in Brooklyn New York and raised in the Pocono Mountains. My oldest brothers album collection was all i needed to be aware of how music moved me. With an acoustic guitar always lying about, i started to figure out pieces of songs and that was the beginning. In 1988 a friend asked if i wanted to join his band, but i had to play bass. so i traded my guitar stuff for a bass. i just went into the woodshed for a month and did the show. Loved it. During the 90?s i played in various cover and original bands from the Poconos, gigging the trip-state area. In early 2000 i hooked up with a couple of friends to work on original music and we became Eight Days Gone. Management, a recording contract and small tours (Buffalo to L.A) was very cool and made all the hard work worth every minute. Always Loved The Cars, saw them live, and excited to be in this band with this class of Musicians. Mike Weber - Drums Mike Weber started out playing drums when his father sat him down at a drum set at age 7. From then on, he spent just about every day after school playing to albums like the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and Beach Boys. He continued to perform in school bands as well as local groups. Through his adult musical career, Mike has toured regionally and nationally, worked as a session musician and played in many original and cover bands. His musical career has afforded him to see many places and meet many fine people. ''I would not trade these experiences for anything else and feel very lucky to have this talent'' he states. Mike's musical journey has also led him to build a professional recording studio where he can expand his musical roots to music recording, engineering and production. Tom Wooley - Keyboards For about as long as he can remember, Tom has been fascinated by synthesizers and organs or any other keyboard based instrument that produces sound through electricity. By around the age of 12, he discovered Keith Emerson and that was it . . . playing keyboards became an obsession. Tom is a 30 plus year veteran of the NJ/NY music scene and has performed live or provided session work for countless original and cover acts over the years. He has worked with several tribute bands including The Reagans (80?s), Us Not Them (Pink Floyd), Evil Ways (Santana), Presence (Led Zeppelin), and Beginnings (Chicago). His love of quirky synthesizer sounds makes him a natural fit for The Best Friends Girl. Tom holds a degree in music composition and still composes/records whenever time permits. He is a voracious lover of all music styles and will happily listen to anything that doesn?t suck. He manages a well established music store when not on stage. He?s happily married with two outstanding teenage daughters. All ages welcome! 21+ to purchase adult beverages with a valid ID.
