The Glove Theatre's 518 Concert Series proudly welcomes back Orange Velour! Two years in a row — this is becoming a Glove Holiday Tradition!
Here’s what High Vibrations Media said about last year’s show: “Orange Velour lit up the Glove Theatre in Gloversville, NY, on December 27, 2024, delivering a performance that was equal parts electrifying and unforgettable. With Adam Gurga (vocals, guitar), Jeff Blaha (vocals, guitar), Brian Breyo (vocals, bass), and Whelan Hounsel (vocals, drums) commanding the stage, they treated us to an incredible mix of covers and originals, proving why they have such a massive local following.
The band’s range was on full display. They covered everything from The Phish From Vermont—including a high-energy “Tweezer” that had everyone out of their seats boogieing—to Pink Floyd, and even Wang Chung’s “Everybody Have Fun Tonight.” Hearing that Wang Chung track was particularly special for me, as it brought me back to my first-ever live concert experience at SPAC when they opened for The Cars. It’s one of my core memories and the start of my love affair with live music.
The holiday spirit was alive as well, with an energetic rendition of Chuck Berry’s “Run Run Rudolph.” The crowd went wild, singing and dancing along—it was pure joy.
But the true stars of the show were Orange Velour’s original songs. They played several tracks from their upcoming album, and I was blown away by how good they were. The writing and melodies are top-notch, and while I usually find it hard to connect with new songs during a live show, these tracks immediately resonated. Jeff Blaha’s performance of “Stephanie” was fantastic, while songs like “Mr. Shingles” left me wanting to hear them all over again. Whelan Hounsel impressed not just with his drumming but also with his powerful vocals, and Brian Breyo brought the funk alive with his basslines, especially during their cover of “Funky Bitch” (a Son Seals classic made famous among Phish fans).”
