Over the last decade, POKEY HAS WON THE HEARTS OF MUSIC LOVERS ACROSS
THE GLOBE WITH HIS CREATIVE MIX OF EARLY JAZZ, string ragtime, country
blues and western swing. Moving quickly from breakthrough artist to
leading musical figure, he’s earned two consecutive Independent
Music Awards for Best Americana Album (Riverboat Soul and Middle of
Everywhere). In 2013, he signed with Jack White’s Third Man Records
to release his fifth full-length album, POKEY LAFARGE, and last year
released his latest work, Manic Revelations, revealing his unending
passion for songwriting.
POKEY LAFARGE IS A MUSICIAN. He is a storyteller. He is a feeler of
feelings. He is a narrator of the messy, unkempt American experience.
He sits, he watches, he writes. Everything that’s worth happening
happens in his songs. Like the long line of writers and performers he
descends from, music isn’t something POKEY DOES - it’s something
he is.
