Pokey LaFarge And South City Three SOLD OUT SHOWS!! Venue Changes + Single News

[Editorial]

 

After their much-loved slot on 'Later With Jools' Hootenanny' the wonderful Pokey LaFarge & The South City Three are on everyones lips and are being highly touted to breakthrough to the mainstream in 2012.  Of the many roots musicians traveling the world and spreading the early American music tradition, Pokey LaFarge and the South City Three are the next in line to make a significant impact on music enthusiasts everywhere. From St. Louis, Missouri, their creative mix of early jazz, string ragtime, country blues and western swing rings true and fine, making them among the most innovative of all the purists performing American roots music today. It’s wonderfully infectious, and all laid down in front of a big, big swingin’ beat.

 

A lot of performers are content to play old material, reworking the tunes to give them new life or to stamp them with personal style. But this group, led by guitar-plucking troubadour Pokey LaFarge, achieves timelessness with original songs while honoring the legendary artists of yesterday through covered tunes. Accompanied by The South City Three, Pokey uses his booming voice as an instrument with an incredible range; one moment he shouts a line and the next he croons above his parlor guitar. Pokey’s extraordinary blend of raw talent and refined, idiosyncratic charm turns reviewers into poets as they attempt to label his one-of-a-kind sound.

 

You can watch Pokey and the boys tearing it up on the Later With Jools' Hootenanny here:-
