Info
On March 12, 2027, Pokey LaFarge takes over Islington Assembly Hall in London with that singular mix of old-school American roots and restless songwriting. For the past two decades, the Illinois-born troubadour has been carving his own lane, pulling from early jazz, blues, swing and country without ever turning it into a museum piece. His music keeps the twang and the shuffle up front, but it’s the way he threads sharp, everyday stories into catchy melodies that really sticks.
With Rent Money as a key chapter in his recent run, LaFarge leans into songs that balance warmth and unease: lively rhythms, bright choruses, and a quiet tension that mirrors the times. Still stubbornly independent, he’s the kind of artist who refuses to be told what to play, how to sound, or who to please—more interested in making something human, imperfect, and impossible to flatten into a formula. Expect a set that swings, snaps, and moves between eras with ease, led by a voice and a pen that don’t do conformity.
