Adrian Galvin, better known by his moniker Yoke Lore, is an American multi-instrumentalist, dancer, and visual artist from New York, United States. Before going solo Galvin was a member of Walk the Moon and Yellerkin.

Early life

Galvin is from Katonah, New York, and both his parents were creative professionals who encouraged him to explore the arts. His brother is actor and singer Noah Galvin. His mother is Jewish and his father was Catholic. Galvin's father died in November 2023, after a long battle with illness. Galvin attended Kenyon College where he began writing songs and playing drums for the band Walk the Moon. He split with the band to form a short-lived project called Yellerkin in 2013. Galvin lived in a monastery in India for a time after college. Yellerkin, which was based in Brooklyn, was co-founded with producer Luca Buccellati.

Yoke Lore

He released his first EP as Yoke Lore in 2016, and soon after performed at SXSW and toured internationally. Galvin is also a dancer and founded a dance group called Boomerang in 2016.

In late 2017, he released a video for the song "Beige". Late in 2019, he released the single "Dead Ringer". Early in 2020, he collaborated with Jax Anderson on the single "Sensitive Heart".
