LVVRS at Mohawk Indoor
Since their Valentine’s Day inception in 2018, the Louisiana-based band has captivated audiences with their blend of infectious pop hooks, rock ’n’ roll swagger, and dynamic live performances. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Maroon 5, INXS, the shimmering glam of T. Rex, and The 1975, the band crafts songs that each boast their own distinct sound and personality—a remarkable achievement in today’s music landscape. Often likened to Michael Hutchence for his commanding vocal presence and moves, front man and guitarist River Gibson drives the sonic force of LVVRS. Under his lead, the band seamlessly blends gritty guitar riffs with club-ready beats, crafting a sound that is as cinematic as it is anthemic.
Following a year of personal and professional evolution, LVVRS is set to release their sophomore EP, Heaven and the Heartland, in Spring of 2025. The lead single, “The Love You Gave Me,” marks a new chapter for the band, blending heartfelt storytelling with their signature larger-than-life sound.
Renowned for their electrifying stage presence, LVVRS clocks in 60 shows annually, proving they are as unstoppable on stage in the pop-rock scene as they are in the studio.
