Pokey LaFarge is an American musician and singer-songwriter.

He was born Andrew Heissler in Bloomington, Illinois. The nickname "Pokey" was coined by his mother, who would scold him to hurry when he was a child. He adopted the name "Pokey LaFarge" because it sounded like what he was looking for musically during the time he was moving around the country.

Rhumba country is an album that inspires and brings people together. A celebration of life and love. It is medicine for the soul.
