Pokey LaFarge and the South City Three w/WB Givens & Lance Whalen
Price: $10
Pokey LaFarge doesn’t try to hide the fact that he’s putting on an act, and an old act at that — he fully embraces his role as an entertainer who’s fashioned himself a stage name, a dapper Depression-era look and a band that takes a lot of its cues from the prewar era, The South City Three. What’s so appealing about the St. Louis-based singer and songwriter is akin to what’s earned Old Crow Medicine Show such an enthusiastic audience: They may be young performers making old-timey music, but that music is hot and swinging and anything but domesticated. And LaFarge’s latest batch of uptown and down-home blues- and jazz-flavored originals — Middle of Everywhere — is definitely built for a good time, from the danceable, bluesy delivery of “Mississippi Girl” to the string band romp “Drinkin’ Whiskey Tonight.”
