Van Morrison
IRAAS Band Live Cover of Gloria by Van Morrison at Pol'and'Rock Festival
Before the live performance at the Pol'and'Rock Festival in 2018, Van Morrison had just released his album "Roll with the Punches" in September 2017, which included a mix of original songs and classic covers. This album showcased his unique ability to blend blues, jazz, and soul, further solidifying his reputation as a musical innovator. An interesting tidbit about Van Morrison is that he has always emphasized the importance of live performances in his career, often drawing energy from the crowd, which can be felt in this high-spirited cover of "Gloria" by IRAAS BAND. Despite being a classic from the '60s, the song continues to resonate through the decades, reflecting Morrison's timeless appeal and the emotional connection he establishes with his audience during live shows.
