Austin-based LaFave is one of an increasing number of modern rock troubadours from the southern Plains - but it is the strength of his live shows that make him one of the very best. His songs are reminiscent of the Dust Bowl heritage of fellow Oklahoman Woody Guthrie, the quiet folk reflections of Bob Dylan, and the rock anthems of Bruce
Springsteen. His latest release, Cimarron Manifesto, just out on Red House Records and currently sitting at #1 on the Americana Music Association album charts, features a typically strong blend of poignant songs from LaFave's pen, along with covers of Donovan, Dylan and Joe South. He'll be appearing at The Cedar with a three-piece band, including ace guitarist (and long-time Tom Russell compadré) Andrew Hardin. CITY PAGES A-LIST PICK!
