If youve followed me on any of the social media networks I participate in youve no doubt been aware that I am a big advocate of Pokey LaFarge. Im not getting compensated for it, though it might seem like it. I just see him as this musician that is exceptionally talented and rare, who has a unique sound thats willing to work hard to get somewhere in this world. Hes on almost a non-stop tour schedule now with his band, The South City Three. I wont go into detail describing his sound you can hear it for yourself in the video, but I have gotten to know Pokey personally and I can tell you that his slight frame is packed with southern charm, the relentless drive of a wallstreet tycoon, the mischevious spirit of every class clown youve ever known, and, what seems like, one very old soul.

  • @STANLIZ4

    Oh hard luck! Guess its a bit of a journey north for you. Hell of a venue The Cluny. Saw Old Crow Medecine Show there on their first tour. Took the bloody roof off! LOL.

    All the best.

  • @mikesakhalin Youre lucky! theyre coming nowhere near the Midlands!

  • Looking forward to seing them in Newcastle at the wonderful Cluny. March 24.

  • Every year or so Jools Holland has a band on his show that you can really see sticking around. Norah Jones, Sigur Ros etc, and I thought this band were so good on new years eve. Bought both albums and it's almost impossible to be miserable when they're on.

  • Once again, thanks to Jools Holland for bringing yet another group of excellent performers to our attention!

  • imense band , desserve a better camera man though :P
