State Theatre Presents Pokey Lafarge
December 11, 2022 @ 7:00 pm
with special guest Cicada Rhythm
Pokey LaFarge is an American renaissance man — an acclaimed musician, writer, actor, and designer. Fusing the rustic sounds of the past with his wry humor and eclectic music sensibilities, singer/songwriter Pokey LaFarge is “an artful ambassador for old-time music, presenting and representing the glories of hot swing, early jazz, and ragtime blues.” (NPR’s Stephen Thompson)
Over his 15-year career, Pokey has sold-out theaters worldwide; toured and recorded with Jack White. His music has been featured in TV shows like Boardwalk Empire and recently had a role in 2021’s Netflix movie Devil All the Time alongside Robert Pattinson and Tom Holland.
Cicada Rhythm: Spread across the stage is a summer’s evening; the front porch air thick with lazy guitar, the bass sticking you to the swing like honey, the drums like ice cubes chilling your glass, voices, tight in a unique beauty all their own capture the mind like the moon fills the sky. The name, evocative of the south and its sleepy, resilient nature inspires a soulful persistence in the band’s original songs that blend all American musics. What started as a duo on an errant path to a dream, these Georgia based, genre defying darlings aren’t afraid to carve out a space all their own.
