Rock and roll is clearly a defining factor in the DNA of Larkin Poe. The modern rock band is the genesis of the sister duo comprised of Rebecca and Megan Lovell alongside their long- term friends Kevin McGowan and Tarka Layman. To trace the history of Larkin Poe, it is important to start with the Lovell sisters. Growing up in the deep south of Georgia, the sisters’ musical talent and enthusiasm was ingrained from a young age as they formed their first band in their teenage years alongside their older sister, Jessica Lovell. Although their first group gained local success, the sisters reorganized to eventually become known as Larkin Poe in 2010. From that moment on, the band cultivated their unique musical style that comprised of a singular blend of powerful electric guitar notes and sultry, melodic harmonies. The band’s songs also focus heavily on creating a profound lyrical connection as befitting of a band comprised of descendants of Edgar Allan Poe, who provided inspiration for the name of the band.

Moreover, Larkin Poe have been recognized all over the world for their profound talent and captivating performances. Not many musical acts can boast to having performed with the likes of Elvis Costello, Keith Urban and Conor Oberst. Larkin Poe’s performance in the Glastonbury of 2014 earned them the title of best discovery of the festival by many critics and musical fans, thus illustrating the inevitable stardom awaiting the band. Now easily accessible to their wide international base with their hit YouTube channel in which the band covers a range of hits alongside their own songs, Larkin Poe have showcased a rare musical quality that is as singular as it is timeless.
