Singer-songwriter Pokey LaFarge is back with a new single, out now alongside an official video directed by Jacob Butler. Steered by loose-limbed energy and a barroom rhythm, “Rent Money” pairs its infectious swing with a harder reality underneath, as Pokey LaFarge turns his attention toward the grind of surviving lean times and the emotional toll that comes with it.
The track serves as the title cut from his forthcoming album, Rent Money, due September 11 via his own Boxer Boy Records.
‘Rent Money’ is a little bit more of a tougher tune, but it’s not going to totally bum you out. It’s just a classic country blues song. The good lord giveth and Uncle Sam taketh away.

LaFarge will introduce fans old and new to Rent Money with an epic North American headline tour featuring full-band performances and solo shows beginning July 23 at Maquoketa, IA’s Codfish Hollow Barnstormers and then traveling the continent through a holiday season finale at Los Angeles, CA’s historic Lodge Room on December 19.
