Here... no autotune, no triple bass pedal, a simple and effective set, superb voices with enormous talent and generosity, that's why I love blues, rock... I'm waiting for you in june in Brussels!

[@schissgring]

Of this is rhythm and blues the real RnB not that shit pop or hip hop that calls them self RnB -----so no autotune needed😀

Nailed it!

Was thinking the same thing. I'd like to see em all collaborate. Hell, invite Warren and Walter too.

I had the privilege of seeing Larkin Poe live: they are scary good. So talented but make it all look so easy. Just awesome.

[@henryho249]

seen firsttime with Elvis Costello- waaoooh, what a surprise! second time live at Berlin - the same! And now We hope for better times to see the adorable sister in Berlin next year. Smash COVID19, goosebumps forever!!

So many fantastic moments in this live set but none better than Rebecca’s stunning vocal arrangement from the 53:40 mark just before the entire band ROCKS into the intro for “AC/DC” to close out the show! WHAT A VOICE AND WHAT A BAND!!! #LarkinPoe 🤘🏻

everything improving: Rebecca's voice and stage presence, Meghan's slide sound and phrasing: really musical and heartfelt: greaaat girls. the rythm section works fine, especially the bass player: nice sound, right notes, scarce and solid playing. . as good as it gets.

[@rickbruner5525]

@@lptomtom Care to share the music you have created? Or is weak, misogynistic criticism the upper limit of your abilities?

[@lptomtom]

@@rickbruner5525 Alright, I'll bite. "Misogynistic" ? So you can't criticize a band with women in it, ever ? Apart from the fact that some of my favourite bands are led by women (Elastica, Japanese Breakfast, Fanny, Courtney Barnett, The Supremes...), and the fact that I have in fact recorded and released my own music, you simply don't need to be a musician to comment on other people's music. This is why I can also have opinions on movies without being a filmmaker, on politics without being elected, on roadworks without being an engineer... To expand, Rebecca always looks like she's going to a party dressed up as a stereotypical "rockstar", and I find their music bland and derivative, even though Megan's slide playing is excellent. This is, as everything else in KZbin comments, my opinion.

[@bkbreddragon]

Megan & Rebecca are a breathe of fresh air! Thank you!!!

[@clydedominey417]

The joy they convey just spills right over and makes me happy even though it’s a video. I have to get to one of their concerts!

[@michaelsesemann1485]

Didn't know of the band until the 1st KTBAS Mediterranean Cruise... Know 'em now as they stole our hearts and minds with their great sets!

[@williamc.hensel130]

A great sample of Rebecca and Megan, 'Larkin Poe' [the name's one of their ancestors; their genealogy includes Edgar Allan Poe]. The sisters started by studying classical music, transformed to Bluegrass, and got blues, roots, rock and amps somewhere along the road. Rebecca effervesces, Megan smolders - they are Georgia distilled, with joy!

[@sjoerd3604]

Woop a shoutout to that amazing drumsound! Tight as a .. really tight drumsound. Someone knew what he/she was doing there. Overall kickass performance.

[@durhamtiger]

Love that he's wearing an Iron Maiden tee. Up the Irons!

[@markheydude3882]

I was just going to pop in and watch a short video of my new favorite band but here I am at 37 minutes and can't let go. They have it all man. Crank it up. Sounds sooooo good.

[@tammybehlmann837]

I saw these young gorgeous talented musicians at the blues bender in Vegas last September it was phenomenal ...

[@teegee2556]

Yes, I was there too, sitting in the 5th row in the VIP section, what a blast...and after that came Govt Mule, what a great show!!

[@jeffreygunn3530]

Same here. I think the audience was basically going "Larkin who?" until they launched into Summertime Sunset and blew the doors off the place. I saw something similar a few years ago when Samantha Fish opened for J.J. Grey. When she came out on stage, most of the audience had no idea who she was, and were more interested in getting beer. That changed quickly!

[@deborahmintz6806]

One of the greatest blues..

@@daviddawson1718I have listened to the blues for decades; I have studied the blues; and I strive to play the blues on guitar. Every person reacts to music differently. I feel the blues very deeply in Larkin Poe's music. Too bad you don't, but don't be discouraged you just might someday. 😊

[@kevingthompson14]

Ok there is an entire catalog of American canned/lab created acts, singers, songs, bands, and music. NOT HERE GUYS. This is 100% bona fide original. Most people thought they were doa after big sister flaked out somewhere over near UGA, but the American artistic spirit refused to lay down and die. This is simply the hippest music act in America today and quite possibly in the world. Basically I think we have forgotten exactly what HIP is. A few short years ago a Nashville band called Paramore had a certain amount of that. It was more of a pop hip. Larkin Poe has a swanky hip and its oh so grand. Barely in their 20s and already American music legends. Un freakin believable.
