Larkin Poe
Larkin Poe is a brand new band in the blues scene. Two sisters, Rebecca Lovell, and Meghan Lovell created this band in 2010. Tarka Layman on bass guitar and Kevin McGowan on drums plays with the sisters. Rebecca Lovell sings and plays acoustic and electric guitar and sometimes violin and piano as well. Meghan Lovell’s domain is the slide technique, which she uses when playing lapsteel and dobro guitar.
The band Larkin Poe was founded in 2010. The name for the band comes from the sisters’ great-great-great-grandfather. The group’s first big success was its performance in 2014 at the Glastonbury festival. The Observer named them the best Glastonbury discovery. In 2018, the band released the album “Peach,” which was nominated by the Blues Foundation as the Best Emerging Artist Album. In the same year, their next album “Venom & Faith” reached number one on the blues list of Billboard. It was also nominated for a grammy award as Best Contemporary Blues Album in 2020. After that, the next album, “Self Made Man,” released in 2020, also climbed to # 1 on the blues billboard chart. On November 20, 2020, Larkin Poe released their fifth studio album, Kindred Spirits, a covers album featuring renditions of songs by Lenny Kravitz, Neil Young, Elvis Presley, Phil Collins, Elton John, and others.
The main lap steel guitar that Megan Lovell use is the Rickenbacker. She use it because of fat classic rock tone. Megan is a Fender tube amp junkie. She have an old Vibrolux, but most of the time touring with a standard Deluxe Reverb.
