POKEY LAFARGE

Monday 4 June 2018 2018

When Pokey and his band members enter the stage, you mirage yourself in the 20s and 30s. Also because of the looks of the singer. With his tight suit and sleek hair, he takes you all the way to St. Louis, back in time before the second World War. People whispered silently that Pokey is the new Bill Monroe. But the American artist built an empire and many comparisons are unnecessary. He performed in Paard before, and we can recommend you to take a ride in Pokey’s time machine. Again, or for the first time. It is an unbelievably and sensational experience to watch him perform live. You will leave with a huge smile, that’s guaranteed!

It is impossible not to move during a performance of Pokey LaFarge. The band blows up the roof with rag time, swing and other rock ‘n roll. And don’t forget the soul, bluegrass and country. Even the tearjerkers have such a contagious rhythm, that the first visitor will move within seconds. In May 2017 the last album was released ‘Manic Revelations’ and on June 4th the King og Midwestern swing will perform in Paard!

Support: Meschiya Lake
Being the best in town is nothing new for Meschiya Lake. Even more than two decades ago at the age of nine when both the town and Lake were much smaller. Looking back, it’s no surprise that when a precocious nine year old Lake hit the stage for a singing contest at a Rapid City, South Dakota, steakhouse, she already believed that she belonged. At June 4th she will support Pokey LaFarge!

“ It’s genuinely hard not to like Pokey LaFarge. “
