Pokey Lafarge, a modern day balladeer in the truest sense, delivers his brand of deeply rooted dustbowl Appalachia-blues on his third offering--and Trade Root Music Group maiden voyage-- Riverboat Soul. Hailing from St. Louis, Mo, 27-year-old Mr. Lafarge and his dapper band of ragamuffins, the South City Three— Adam Hoskins, Joey Glynn and Ryan Koenig-- deliver a mighty fine collection of spirited takes that make the doctors and nursemaids feverishly hoot, holler, stomp our feet and clap our hands. Our favorite cut on Riverboat Soul comes in the form of “La La Blues”- a fistful of freewheeling ragtime, an oscillating groove and foot-tapping hook that shines brightly, a true cooker. Pokey exclaims: “One thing that’s happened is the new material is being written for a bigger sound with more vocals from my compadres, who all like to join in and make a joyful racket.”Pokey Lafarge: Vocals, Guitar, Harmonica, Kazoo
Ryan “Churchmouse” Koenig: Washboard, Harmonica, Vocals
Adam “Boss Hoss” Hoskins: Guitar, Vocals
Joey Glynn: Upright Bass, Vocals
