About Pokey LaFarge
For two decades, the eccentric troubadour has been paving his own musical path, without bowing to trends and clichés. Expect an evening full of pure music that makes you move, delivered with an irresistible charm and sharpness that we’ve become accustomed to from Pokey LaFarge. 

With his album 'Rent Money', the Illinois-born musician perhaps delivers his best work to date. Pokey LaFarge effortlessly weaves together various strands from 20th-century American music history: from twangy guitars and infectious rhythms to deep, sincere lyrics. 

His songs sound hopeful and swing, but beneath the surface, they also touch on raw reality and the unrest of current times. The result is a rock-solid sound that feels both nostalgic and urgent. The fact that Pokey LaFarge refuses to be dictated by anyone or anything is precisely his greatest strength. 

In an age where everything risks becoming polished and predictable, he consciously chooses authenticity and imperfection. "I just try to make music that AI cannot imitate," he says himself. A live experience full of character, sharp humour, and pure craftsmanship that you won’t want to miss.
