Pokey LaFarge

Concert Details

Pokey LaFarge’s music invites diverse people and genres to come together. His music evokes the styles and trends from the 1940s and ’50s, his band’s musicianship is impeccable, and his celebrated songs have a thoroughly modern sensibility. Timelessness and refined good taste are LaFarge’s raison d’être, and his influences—including folk musician Peter LaFarge, Fats Waller, Bill Monroe, Henry Townsend, and Emmett Miller—are as multihued and wide-ranging as the rhythms that buoy his starkly poetic songs.

His eighth studio album, Rhumba Country, was released in February 2024.
