Sisters Rebecca and Megan Lovell, who make up the Southern roots rock group Larkin Poe, just headlined Rock, Ribs, and Ridges Festival, and are ready to take that energy into Sea.Hear.Now this September.
Larkin Poe, which was the name of their great-great-great-great grandfather, are currently on a machine-like festival run, both in North America and Europe. After performing at High Sierra Festival this weekend along with Primus and Greensky Bluegrass, they’ll be off to Spain less than a week later, to perform alongside Pearl Jam and Dua Lipa at Mad Cool.
Even though they only have 245,000 monthly listeners, which is said only in comparison to big headliners at festivals and is more than most artists on Spotify, they have still won multiple GRAMMYs. Their sixth studio album, ‘Blood Harmony’, released in 2022, won a GRAMMY for ‘Best Contemporary Blues Album’ at the 66th GRAMMY Awards.
Larkin Poe have been killing it for years at this point, and since their first record was released 11 years ago, they are now veterans in the music scene. In fact, they are putting themselves in the history books for their genre.
Larkin Poe has a nice recent history of shows in New Jersey, including Rock, Ribs, and Ridges earlier this year, MMRBQ in Camden in 2023, and a show on the Summer Stage with Indigo Girls in 2023 as well. Though they’ve played many shows in recent memory in the Garden State, it’s their prime time in their career to see them, and they are a can’t-miss set at Sea.Hear.Now.
