Pokey LaFarge

Pokey LaFarge returns to MEZZ in Breda with his distinctive blend of roots, swing and Americana. For two decades, the independent troubadour from Illinois has charted his own musical course, regardless of trends around him.

His album 'Rent Money' weaves together twangy guitars, infectious rhythms and heartfelt lyrics - drawing from 20th-century American music traditions that he brings together effortlessly. The songs swing with hope, yet also confront the raw realities of our time.

On his approach, LaFarge is clear: "I'm just trying to make music that AI can't replicate." Expect a live performance full of character, sharp wit and craftsmanship.
