POKEY LAFARGE
On his latest album, Rhumba Country, Pokey Lafarge dreamed up a kaleidoscopic sound informed by his love of music from far-ranging eras and corners of the globe, including mambo, tropicália, rocksteady, and mid-century American rock-and-roll.
Ever since his first record, 2006’s self-released Marmalade, LaFarge has traversed genres. Though he was raised on a healthy diet of blues, bluegrass, ragtime, Western swing, and old-time country — and though he has consistently demonstrated a decided affinity for pre-1950s menswear — the Illinois native is by no means a throwback or a museum piece. Timelessness and refined good taste are LaFarge’s raison d'être, and his influences are as multi-hued and wide-ranging as the rhythms that buoy his starkly poetic songs.
We are endlessly grateful to all our sponsors who make these events possible!
THANKS TO THEIR SUPPORT, WE'RE HOSTING 50+ FREE EVENTS THIS SUMMER.
