This summer, Cape Symphony Presents brings a new live music residency to the Uncommoner Hotel in West Yarmouth as part of Summer Sessions on 28 –– a seasonal series designed to turn Route 28 into a destination for music, culture, and connnections.

Set within Gypsy Sol’s tarot-inspired, bohemian atmosphere, Gypsy Sol Sessions invites locals and visitors alike to gather for curated afternoons of live music, conversation, and laid-back summer energy. Blending folk, jazz, indie, soul, and acoustic storytelling, each weekend offers a distinct musical experience shaped by atmosphere as much as performance.

From emerging regional artists to familiar Cape favorites, the series creates a space to slow down, discover something new, and enjoy live music in an intimate and welcoming setting.

Cape Symphony Presents: Pokey LaFarge

This is a rare and intimate evening with one of America’s most distinctive voices in roots music. Pokey LaFarge brings a series of exclusive solo performances to the East Coast this August, and Cape Cod is one of a select few stops. Join us for a special performance at the Hermann Theater at the Simon Center for the Arts—an intimate listening room designed for experiencing live music up close.

Presented in collaboration with MVY Radio and supported by The Cape Cod Foundation through the Falmouth Fund, this evening reflects a shared commitment to bringing meaningful, high-quality live music experiences to the region.

Known for his unmistakable blend of Americana, early jazz, ragtime, country blues, and rock and roll, Pokey’s music feels both timeless and completely alive. Drawing from the deep roots of American music while carving out a sound entirely his own, his performances balance vintage influence with a modern edge.

For these special solo shows, Pokey strips it all back to voice, guitar, and storytelling, offering a rare, up close reimagining of songs from his nine album catalog, alongside fresh interpretations of Gospel, Rock and Roll, and Country classics.

This is not a full band show. This is something rarer: An artist at the height of his craft, alone on stage, creating a direct and immersive connection with the audience in a setting designed for deep listening.
