Pokey LaFarge is a musician, songwriter, bandleader, entertainer, innovator and preservationist, whose well‐rounded arsenal of talents has placed him at the forefront of American music. 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, all while writing songs
that ring true and fine in both spirit and sound. His music transcends the confines of genre, continually challenging the notion that tradition‐bearers fail to push musical boundaries. Cleverly striding between numerous forms of traditional American music, Pokey has crafted a genre all his own, marked in its accessible ingenuity.

At only 30 years old, Pokey's career has not slowed in momentum since it began with his first release Marmalade. Shortly followed by Beat, Move and Shake (2008) and Riverboat Soul (2010), Pokey quickly graduated from breakthrough artist to leading musical figure, receiving an Independent Music Award for Riverboat Soul and continued praise from NPR Music and
Billboard Magazine, among other reputable critics.

This latest full‐length album, co‐produced with Ketch Secor of Old Crow Medicine Show, is released via Jack White's Third Man Records. Pokey LaFarge is on a mission, encouraging audiences worldwide to think differently about what it means to celebrate musical traditions. Simply put, Pokey explains, "It's not retro music. It's American music that never died."
