Grab your tickets HERE! Pokey Lafarge Live at the Almont Resort- February 28th
Pokey LaFarge has spent the last half-decade searching for a home, a journey that led him to Mid-Coast Maine, where he worked long hours on a local farm. That experience sparked a creative resurgence and a deeper sense of purpose, ultimately shaping his newest album, Rhumba Country. With a sound that blends mambo, rocksteady, tropicália, and classic American rock & roll, LaFarge has created his most vibrant and uplifting record yet.
Much of Rhumba Country was written while working the land, with melodies and lyrics emerging as he pushed a plow or scattered seeds. Realizing something was missing, LaFarge took a detour to Los Angeles, where he teamed up with Elliot Bergman (Wild Belle) and producer Chris Seefried to bring the album to life. The result is a kaleidoscopic mix of global influences, rich storytelling, and danceable rhythms. “The songs that naturally come to me are upbeat and make you wanna dance or at least bop your head—they’re all very colorful,” says LaFarge. “I used to think of my music in dark blue, but now I see it in technicolor.”
With his unmistakable voice, magnetic stage presence, and an ear for timeless melodies, LaFarge delivers a sound that’s both nostalgic and refreshingly original. Whether channeling the raw energy of ’60s R&B, the laid-back grooves of reggae, or the playful storytelling of classic Americana, he brings a spirit of adventure and discovery to everything he creates. His latest record is a celebration of joy, resilience, and the journey toward self-discovery.
