Live from the Castle Theater in Bloomington, Illinois, February 23rd 2013- POKEY LAFARGE!!!!!!!

I went. It was packed to capacity shortly after the doors opened. Sold Out Show. Pokey's Grandmother was there and we all sang "Happy Birthday" as promised. My expectations were high, but I was blown away. The group has added TJ on trumpet and Chloe on clarinet, and the sound mix was perfect.

You need to see this group live to truly appreciate the high level of professionalism and style on the stage.

Buy the music and follow the band, which includes BloNo U-High Graduate Pokey Lafarge at PokeyLafarge.net (You knew him as Drew)

A new PL album will be coming soon on Jack White's label. Yes, THAT Jack White. Go back and listen to my  pre-show interview with Pokey by clicking HERE

My sentences are short because I am still struck speechless by the talent I witnessed on Saturday.

Wow. Seriously. Wow.

Currently this is my favorite song from Pokey Lafarge.
