Pokey LaFarge and his band gave stopped by St. Louis Public Radio for a private concert before they headed out on an international tour supporting Pokey's new self-titled album which comes out June 4 on Third Man Records.

They played a some songs from the new album and a few songs that come from the rich music history upon which Pokey draws his style.  He also took a few minutes to talk to host Nick Garcia about the new album and the music that drives him.
