Larkin Poe is an American roots rock duo led by sisters Rebecca Lovell and Megan Lovell. The band originated in north Georgia and is based in Nashville, Tennessee. Known for their strong southern harmonies, heavy electric guitar riffs, and steel guitar, Larkin Poe often draws comparisons to the style of the Allman Brothers. The Lovell sisters have gained recognition for their energetic performances and musical prowess.
The band's history began with the Lovell Sisters, an acoustic music trio formed in 2005 with their older sister, Jessica Lovell. After releasing independent albums and touring for four years, the Lovell Sisters disbanded in 2010. Later that year, Rebecca and Megan Lovell regrouped as Larkin Poe, taking their band name from their great-great-great-great-grandfather, a cousin of Edgar Allan Poe.
Larkin Poe's early years saw the release of several independent extended plays (EPs) and collaborative albums. They signed a recording contract with RH Music in late 2013 and released their debut studio album, Kin, in 2014. The band gained recognition for their collaboration with producer T Bone Burnett on the New Basement Tapes' album Lost on the River: The New Basement Tapes. The band performed at the 2014 and 2016 Glastonbury Festival and were voted "Best Discovery of Glastonbury 2014" by the UK's The Observer.
Their musical journey continued with the release of albums Peach in 2017, Venom & Faith (Grammy Nominated) in 2018, and Self Made Man in 2020, which achieved notable success on the Billboard Top Blues Albums chart. In addition to their original music, Larkin Poe released a covers album titled Kindred Spirits in 2020, showcasing their interpretations of songs by various artists. In 2022, they released Blood Harmony, which won the 2024 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album.
2025 saw the release of the album Bloom.
