# Event Details - **Event Name**: Pokey LaFarge w/ Cicada Rhythm at Aladdin Theater - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 11 Dec, 2026 at 08:00 pm (-08:00) - **Event Description**: TICKETS 🎟️ truewest.info/Pokey26 On Sale Friday, May 15 at 10am PT This Event is All Ages ---------------------------------------- Pokey LaFarge For two decades, Pokey LaFarge has walked his own effortlessly cool road as an exceptionally iconoclastic troubadour – forthright, genuine, and markedly keen to put it all out there. Rent Money now sees him pushing forward yet again in what can be safely declared his finest collection to date, both as an heartfelt expression of personal experience and as no-nonsense social commentary. With its twanging guitars, plucky rhythms, and undeniably captivating melodies, the album soars and swings, its joyous refrains belying the inescapable undercurrent of constant worry and angst that permeates these troubled times. As always, the Illinois native deftly traverses the genre boundaries, seamlessly integrating the myriad strains of 20th-century American music with a freewheeling command of earnest songcraft, inspired performance, and subversive creativity. Rent Money stands tall as an indisputable high-water mark for Pokey LaFarge – a defining collection from a one-of-a-kind artist of rare ingenuity and uncommon candor, now as ever, determinedly crafting a sure-footed brand of deeply human music all his own. “People are always going to tell you what they think you should play,” says Pokey LaFarge, “what you should sing about, how you should sound, how you should look, how you should act. And I’ve always just been like, nah. Nope. I’ve just completely gone my own way, and hopefully I’ve been honest and authentic in the process. “I’m just trying to make music that AI can’t replicate. Things are so homogenized right now. That’s what I’m really, really, really resistant to, especially when it comes to music. I’m not going to do it. I’m not going to conform.” Cicada Rhythm Born and raised in Georgia, this talented pair imitates and modernizes folk music to a rejuvenating degree. The sound of Andrea DeMarcus and Dave Kirslis exhibits skilled and articulate guitar picking honed in the dive bars of Atlanta over rolling Julliard-trained bass lines. Expect chilling harmonies, unbridled enthusiasm, some wholesome tunes and a sincere performance. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/portland/pokey-lafarge-w-cicada-rhythm-at-aladdin-theater/200030286873145 - **Event Categories**: music, art, entertainment, theatre - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 13 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Portland - **state**: OR - **country**: United States - **location**: 3017 SE Milwaukie Ave, Portland, OR, United States, Oregon 97202 - **lat**: 45.5007 - **long**: -122.65453 - **full address**: 3017 SE Milwaukie Ave, Portland, OR, United States, Oregon 97202 ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Pokey LaFarge w/ Cicada Rhythm at Aladdin Theater - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/c2dd873a7f23d7ea7c57dff2512da2dc46f09ed5b917df97a9d986e002ad93b8-rimg-w1200-h675-dcbfbfbf-gmir?v=1782178905 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Pokey LaFarge w/ Cicada Rhythm at Aladdin Theater being held? - **A:** Pokey LaFarge w/ Cicada Rhythm at Aladdin Theater takes place on Fri, 11 Dec, 2026 at 08:00 pm to Fri, 11 Dec, 2026 at 08:00 pm at 3017 SE Milwaukie Ave, Portland, OR, United States, Oregon 97202. - **Q**: Who is organizing Pokey LaFarge w/ Cicada Rhythm at Aladdin Theater? - **A:** Pokey LaFarge w/ Cicada Rhythm at Aladdin Theater is organized by Aladdin Theater. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
