Chanteur
Country US né Andrew Heissler le 26 Juin 1983 à Bloomington (Illinois).
Fusing the
sounds of the past with the energy of the present day, Americana singer/songwriter Pokey
LaFarge makes old-time country-, blues-, folk-, and Western swing-influenced
music. Born Andrew Heissler in Bloomington, Illinois in 1983, LaFarge developed
an early interest in American literature and history, as well as roots music of
the 20th century. By his teens, LaFarge was combining his passions into his own
music, accompanying himself on guitar, mandolin, and banjo. After graduating
high school, LaFarge adopted an itinerant lifestyle -- as well as the nickname Pokey --
and traveled around the United States, often performing on street corners. LaFarge also
crossed paths with a handful of like-minded musicians and he was soon touring
with his own combo, the South City Three, featuring Adam Hoskins on guitar, Joey
Glynn on standup bass, and Ryan Koenig on harmonica, washboard, and percussion.
In 2006, LaFarge released his self-produced debut album, Marmalade. Several
independent releases followed before LaFarge caught the ear of Jack White, who
invited LaFarge and the South City Three to accompany him on the song "I Guess I
Should Go to Sleep" from White's 2012 album Blunderbuss. LaFarge and his band
also opened several dates on White's tour in support of Blunderbuss, and in
2013 White signed LaFarge to his own Third Man Records label. In 2013, LaFarge released
his eponymous Third Man debut album, and his band expanded to a sextet with the
addition of Chloe Feoranzo on clarinet and sax, T.J. Mulleron trumpet, and
Matthew Meyer on trap drums. In November 2014, LaFarge signed a new recording
deal with the respected roots music label Rounder Records, and his first album
for Rounder, Something in the Water (produced by Jimmy Sutton, best-known for
his work with JD McPherson), appeared in April 2015. LaFarge switched directions
for 2017's Manic Revelations, drawing inspiration from '60s soul music.
Over the next year, he stayed busy touring and working on his ninth album, Rock
Bottom Rhapsody, which found him mixing the roots-oriented sounds that are his
trademark with contemporary rock and dance music influences. With his 2020
touring schedule curtailed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, LaFarge instead, he set
to work writing and recording. He reemerged in September 2020 with In the
Blossom of Their Shade, which he co-produced and arranged with Chris Seefried.
