Concert by the blues and country troubadour Pokey LaFarge at the Neptune Theatre in Seattle.
Pokey LaFarge plays The Neptune Theatre on Sunday, December 13, 2026. It's a solo bill, with LaFarge as the only name on the marquee.
LaFarge is an Illinois-born troubadour who's spent more than two decades walking his own path as an iconoclastic artist, drawing on the myriad strains of 20th-century American music. He's a singer and songwriter who works in the blues and country traditions, and he's been at it for a long time.
He recently released Rent Money, which the Seattle Theatre Group calls his finest collection to date—a high-water mark that blends twanging guitars and plucky rhythms with personal experience and social commentary. It's the kind of record that sits at the center of what he does: roots music that doesn't just lean on the past, but pulls from it to say something about the present. LaFarge has spoken of his resistance to homogenized, AI-replicable music and of going his own way to make music that is honest and authentic. That's a good way to frame the whole thing—he's an artist who values the human side of the craft over the polished, predictable stuff.
