POKEY LaFARGE

Pokey LaFarge is currently touring with a five piece band all around North America and Europe. His latest full-length album was co-produced with Ketch Secor of Old Crow Medicine Show, and was released as his first album under Third Man Records. Pokey brings back the timeless sound of American root music and ragtime. Describing himself in his own words, Pokey explains “It’s not retro music. It’s American music that never died.” We loved his record release show earlier this year, and can’t wait for another opportunity to catch him tonight.
