Frenship, Yoke Lore

Is it a good thing or a bad thing if Taylor Swift puts one of your songs on her personal Spotify playlist? Surely the exposure is appreciated, but it’s probably a little bit weird for a burgeoning artist to be thus connected to such a divisive superstar — especially if Tay Tay picks one of your covers over an original. Such is the case for Yoke Lore, whose acoustic version of Savage Garden’s “Truly Madly Deeply” earned a spot on the “Love Story” singer’s recent mix. Hopefully the Brooklyn songwriter’s endearing blend of folk and electro-pop will endure beyond this fleeting blip on the fame meter. Check out Yoke Lore on Wednesday, April 18, at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge in South Burlington. Frenship headline.
