a note about this track
Today’s WYCE Artist of the day – Pokey LaFarge. Born Andrew Heissler the nickname “Pokey†was coined by his mother, who would scold him to hurry when he was a child.In his teens, while he was living in Normal, Illinois, LaFarge first heard blues in a local pizza parlor. He soon discovered an appreciation for older blues artists. After hearing Bill Monroe at age 16, Pokey traded the guitar his grandfather had given him for a mandolin. LaFarge hitchhiked to the West Coast at age 17, where he earned a living playing music on the sidewalks, streets and pedestrian malls. He adopted the name Pokey LaFarge later because it sounded like what he was looking for musically during the time he was moving around the country. During his solo years, LaFarge released two albums and toured and played mandolin with The Hackensaw Boys. Pokey Lafarge, now the official name of the band, won the 2011 and 2012 Independent Music Awards Best Americana Album. You can hear the old-time, hot swing, early jazz and ragtime blues of Pokey LaFarge live at the Pyramid Scheme May 14.
