NYSMUSIC Article - July 5th Park Theater Hudson Show Review
On July 5th, 2025, I made my way back to the beautiful Park Theater stage in Hudson NY.
The owner of Park Theater, Shannan Magee, who has been nothing but supportive of my musical journey introduced me to Pat Rogers; a photographer and journalist with NYSMUSIC.
Pat went through the whole show, both my set as well as my opener Dylan Dunlap’s, with great care to capture each moment through photo and video; leading to the next day where he wrote a review of the show. This is my first experience with reading a performance review, and I won’t lie I was a little nervous when I first opened the article. However as I read through how Pat Roger’s described my performance, I found myself holding back tears of joy and appreciation.
I feel truly seen as a musician, performer and songwriter through the way he wrote about my show and I want to highlight that and share it with all of you.

“Then came Glori Wilder and from the very first note, she redefined what it means to command a stage. With the Moonflowers behind her, Wilder stitched together soul, blues, jazz and pop with a sound that felt classic yet unmistakably current. Her voice carried both smoothness and weight. At times gliding, sometimes growling, but it never wavered in clarity or conviction.”
“One of the night’s most unforgettable moments came when she launched into a cover of Alanis Morissette’s “You Oughta Know.” But this wasn’t a sing-along nostalgia play. Wilder reinvented it, trading fury for control, rage for burn. Her version didn’t scream, it simmered to a boil and in doing so, somehow hit even harder. It’s not often that a cover outshines the original but this one did, leaving the crowd stunned and breathless.”
“By the end, it was clear that this show was so much more than a collection of songs. It was a journey, shared in real time. Dylan Dunlap cracked the emotional door wide open and Glori Wilder & the Moonflowers walked through with fire, grace and full command of the room. A night like this doesn’t happen often, but when it does and if you are open, you can leave changed.”
