About

POKEY LAFARGE IN CONCERT:

From his days as a nomadic busker to his current status as one of old-time music’s most respected guardians, roots revivalist Pokey LaFarge has remained a soulful and authentic live performer. LaFarge’s bluesy sound combines Americana, Western swing, Appalachian folk, and more, and his knowledge of and respect for these historic genres are on full display at his toe-tapping live shows. His swinging sets evoke the sounds of yesteryear with throwback instruments like kazoo, washboard, and lap steel guitar, treating fans to an unforgettable concert experience that’s the next best thing to a riverboat trip down the Mississippi.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Pokey LaFarge, aka Andrew Heissler, was born in Bloomington, IL, where he earned the nickname “Pokey” from his mother who would frequently implore him to hurry. He inherited both his love of American history and his penchant for fingerpicking instruments from his grandfathers, one of whom gave him his first banjo and guitar. After discovering the blues in his teens, he traded in his banjo for a mandolin and hitchhiked across the country to the West Coast. There, he released two solo albums as Pokey LaFarge in the late ‘00s before forming a band and releasing 2010’s Riverboat Soul. The album was a critical hit, earning an Independent Music Award for Best Americana Album and drawing the group out for extensive touring. Their next album, 2011’s Middle of Everywhere, won the same award the following year, cementing LaFarge’s place as one of Americana’s most promising young talents. Since then the group has toured with Jack White, released a 2013 self-titled album, and wowed ticket buyers with their period-perfect sound at major festivals around the world.

  • Never disappoints.

    by MJI on 11/12/24Delmar Hall - Saint LouisRating: 5 out of 5

    Seen him several times and is always awesome. This performance was no exception. Don’t miss an opportunity to see him.

  • An excellent show

    by tommy2shoes on 10/30/24The Atlantis - WashingtonRating: 5 out of 5

    First time at the atlantis and it exceeded expectations from the front desk at entry to the bar to the restrooms. the audio from the balcony was just right loud enough to drown out some conversations that happen but not headache and tinnitus inducing. The band was popular so everyone had to sway in place - no room to swing out to the tunes but had a great time none the less.

  • Don’t Miss It

    by Az Fan on 8/10/24191 Toole - TucsonRating: 5 out of 5

    If Pokey LeFarge performs within 100 miles of you don’t miss it! He puts on the best shows. The next time he comes to Arizona I will be there!

  • Very nice concert in cozy venue

    by Papa Anders on 3/8/23The Parish at House of Blues Anaheim - AnaheimRating: 5 out of 5

    Enjoyed this first time seeing Pokey LaFarge play at the Parish Room at the House of Blues Anaheim. Venue was just the right size for the crowd and you could hear everything very well. I would definitely book another LaFarge showing at that venue, and/or another entertainer I enjoy.

  • Phenomenal show

    by Hokey Pokey on 3/4/23House of Blues San Diego - San DiegoRating: 5 out of 5

    Amazed by the performance quality and showmanship. Highly recommend

  • A+

    by AuntD on 3/3/23House of Blues San Diego - San DiegoRating: 5 out of 5

    Pokey LaFarge is a wonderful entertainer and this concert did not disappoint. He’s funny, charismatic and really connects with his audience. The music was spot on. A great concert.
