Pokey LaFarge

Spend an evening with one of American music’s most distinctive modern troubadours when Pokey LaFarge takes the stage on Wednesday, December 16. Doors open at 7:00 pm, with the show beginning at 8:00 pm. This 21+ only performance offers an opportunity to experience an artist whose music refuses to settle comfortably into a single genre, instead drawing from the rich and varied traditions of 20th-century American music.

For more than two decades, LaFarge has followed his own creative path, developing a style defined by individuality, thoughtful songwriting, and an unmistakably human touch. His latest collection, Rent Money, continues that journey while exploring personal experience and the social realities of a complicated moment. The album combines twanging guitars, lively rhythms, memorable melodies, and expressive arrangements, creating music that can feel simultaneously joyful and reflective.

At the heart of LaFarge’s work is a willingness to embrace musical influences without becoming confined by them. His songs weave together elements of roots music, folk, blues, country, early popular music, and other American traditions, resulting in a sound that feels familiar yet difficult to categorize. The melodies can be inviting and upbeat, while the songwriting often carries a deeper undercurrent of uncertainty, observation, and emotional honesty.

That balance is part of what makes a Pokey LaFarge performance such an engaging live experience. Audiences can expect musicianship, character, and a genuine sense of connection rather than a cookie-cutter presentation. His approach is grounded in the belief that music should remain personal, expressive, and resistant to homogenization.

Rent Money represents another step forward for an artist who has consistently chosen exploration over conformity. Its songs reflect LaFarge’s ability to turn everyday concerns and larger social observations into compelling musical stories, while maintaining the rhythmic energy and melodic charm that have become hallmarks of his work.

Join Pokey LaFarge for a night of genre-defying American roots music, captivating melodies, and spirited live performance. Whether you’re a longtime listener or discovering his work for the first time, this concert promises an evening filled with personality, authenticity, and music that stands firmly on its own terms.

Please note: This event is 21+ only. There is also a ticket delivery delay scheduled for two weeks prior to the show, so plan accordingly when purchasing and preparing for the event.
