Pokey LaFarge, Cicada Rhythm

While time machine technology has yet to be perfected, those who’d like to take a break from modern times can do so by attending a Pokey LaFarge concert. The singer-songwriter’s aesthetic is pure throwback with a look that’s somewhere between Vaudeville performer, vintage rockabilly singer and old-timey country crooner, and a sound that combines blues, Americana, ragtime, jazz, swing and Appalachian folk. His traveling roadshow stops for a night in Spokane with an array of tunes from his 2024 album, Rhumba Country, which injects his already eclectic music with some sunny beach day vibes. So let Pokey treat your brain to a brief reprieve from 2025.
