SUMMARY:Pokey LaFarge w/ Cicada Rhythm LIVE at Assembly - Kingston\, NY
DESCRIPTION:https://www.tixr.com/groups/assembly/events/pokey-lafarge-18996
 6\n\nPOKEY LAFARGE\nFor two decades\, Pokey LaFarge has walked his own eff
 ortlessly cool road as an exceptionally iconoclastic troubadour – forthr
 ight\, genuine\, and markedly keen to put it all out there. Rent Money now
  sees him pushing forward yet again in what can be safely declared his fin
 est collection to date\, both as an heartfelt expression of personal exper
 ience and as no-nonsense social commentary. With its twanging guitars\, pl
 ucky rhythms\, and undeniably captivating melodies\, the album soars and s
 wings\, its joyous refrains belying the inescapable undercurrent of consta
 nt worry and angst that permeates these troubled times. As always\, the Il
 linois native deftly traverses the genre boundaries\, seamlessly integrati
 ng the myriad strains of 20th-century American music with a freewheeling c
 ommand of earnest songcraft\, inspired performance\, and subversive creati
 vity. Rent Money stands tall as an indisputable high-water mark for Pokey 
 LaFarge – a defining collection from a one-of-a-kind artist of rare inge
 nuity and uncommon candor\, now as ever\, determinedly crafting a sure-foo
 ted brand of deeply human music all his own.\n\n“People are always going
  to tell you what they think you should play\,” says Pokey LaFarge\, “
 what you should sing about\, how you should sound\, how you should look\, 
 how you should act. And I’ve always just been like\, nah. Nope. I’ve j
 ust completely gone my own way\, and hopefully I’ve been honest and auth
 entic in the process.\n\n“I’m just trying to make music that AI can’
 t replicate. Things are so homogenized right now. That’s what I’m real
 ly\, really\, really resistant to\, especially when it comes to music. I
 ’m not going to do it. I’m not going to conform.”\n\nCICADA RHYTHM\n
 Born and raised in Georgia\, this talented pair imitates and modernizes fo
 lk music to a rejuvenating degree. The sound of Andrea DeMarcus and Dave K
 irslis exhibits skilled and articulate guitar picking honed in the dive ba
 rs of Atlanta over rolling Julliard-trained bass lines. Expect chilling ha
 rmonies\, unbridled enthusiasm\, some wholesome tunes and a sincere perfor
 mance.
