Larkin Poe | Venom & Faith (Behind-The-Scenes)

[@audiophileman7047]

There are so many things to love about Rebecca and Megan, but what has always truly impressed me is their absolute love of music and how seriously they take their craft. Thank you for taking us inside of your creative process. You bring a great deal of intelligence and emotion to your art. As a fan, I am equally thrilled that Venom and Faith has been nominated for a Grammy. It is really an excellent album. I'm also very happy that you both signed my vinyl copy of the album at the Monterey Jazz Festival. I treasure it; it will never be played by me. It's a fan copy. I have another vinyl copy of the album that I play. Hope you guys win the Grammy. Look forward to more creative and extraordinary music from both of you. Look forward to seeing you perform live again. You are our true blues sisters! 👍😊🎸😎

[@hafizimranYT]

Face like angels but badass musicians on both sides of the recording glass. Thank you for sharing this with us!

[@seanslavin1974]

Whatever you're doing, keep doing it. You girls are killing it.

[@april.1024]

I just wanted to say I'm really grateful to hear you talk about self-producing and the importance of representation. I remember a Lula Wiles interview earlier this year where one of them mentioned that everyone's always been talking about Joni Mitchell as a singer and a songwriter, but if people had also talked about the fact that she self-produced most of her records, that would have inspired and empowered other women to go after production roles as well. I definitely hope and believe you will inspire other women to give it a try and that's so amazing and important! Also, congrats on the nomination, hope you win!

[@DonCrowder]

Regardless of what's "under the hood", your music has wonderful authenticity. It's great to see an occasional video of you performing with others or hear your album tracks but youtube videos with just the two of you showing what you can do together with no bells or whistles blow me away.

[@WillDeutsch]

You did a great job making the album sound alive - not overly produced or robotic.

[@richat1691]

Disagree i can tell a programmed album a mile away..Sounds awful, shame as i think they are awesome

[@elreyvd]

Never tune. Your albums are amazing, but seeing you onstage (even with the limitations of KZbin) is the real experience. We want your reality in every piece of your music. Just as we wanted from the masters of blues, or The Beatles, or the Allman Brothers, or all those artists who used the technology at their disposal in their moment, but never surrendering their essence, their talent, their truthfulness, their humanity, as you aptly put it.

[@davidletasi3322]

These sweet girls are definitely on their way to becoming legends in music. Amazing vocals and incredible slide guitar. Love their style.

[@jamiedeaton7580]

You two are incredible. Between the smoky soulful voice of lead, the smooth harmony of backup and the slide guitar, your music is just amazing. Keep it up.

[@bluzlover56]

I love listening to Larkin Poe. It’s rare for more than a few days to go by without giving Peach or Venom and Faith a listen. I’m going to paraphrase something I heard Derek Trucks say in an interview. He said he wouldn’t go see some one because they were good. He had to feel them. I feel Larkin Poe.

[@rickcheyne]

Congrats on the Grammy nomination! You guys totally deserve it - you've restored my faith in mankind's ability to make music with soul. Well done.

[@ragereaver8576]

You both are setting the foundations for all the future small independent artists, using the computer to supplement and add extra texture to your already great vocals, helps to keep your costs down and to have that connection with us fans.

[@jacobdavis1768]

I could listen to you talk about music all day! Lessons on production, songwriting, composition, etc would engage fans and allow you to connect in a wholly unique way for musicians. Like "I'm going to teach you how to play Mississippi on guitar *cough ukulele cough*" and then next day the new awesome Mississippi video drops. That is a much deeper connection

[@weika1000]

Professionalism, creativity, authenticity and good taste in music .... Good food for my soul ...

[@leejproductions27]

Love the snake skin shirt Megan. How appropriate for Venom & Faith. I will be rooting for you to get the Grammy. I love what you are doing.

[@zyphod]

Well deserved and rightfully nominated. Please please, to the powers that be, get these wonderful girls on the UK's "Later with Jools" programme when they tour in 2020 !

[@niceguy2171]

Please never lose the 'humanity' part of either your performances or your recordings..it would turn even you into just another overly produced sound, and you never want that. Don't think you could lose the sister connection even if you tried, it's to ingrained..as it's part of who you are as performers. Thank you for this interesting look into some of the making of this, and if you want to include some video of you laying down the vocals and instruments..well I can only speak for myself, but would Love to see it!

[@kenhoward3512]

I love listening to artists who are so articulate about how they create what they're so (deservedly) proud of.

[@anthemiusaugustulusiii8445]

I love this behind the scenes already and it’s AMAZING you two are in that %2

[@SeanKerns]

Love having an inside look at the process. Thanks!

[@freyafarmer7789]

I’m a female blues/rock guitarist, just starting to get into production, and you guys are probably my biggest inspiration right now. Thank you so much for your music 🤘🏻

[@guydanjou1804]

Congrats on a well deserved Grammy nomination. Love your music, everything you write or cover is great. You should come to the Montreal Jazz Festival next summer, it's one of the biggest and oldest music fest in the world. Lots of blues fans there. Cheers from Quebec!

[@fivetimesyo]

I have mixed feeling about not recording your own sounds but if you're going to use libraries this is how to do it right. The album is fire. Great job, Larkin Poe!

[@Victory..I]

6 times yo.. ynwa..

[@fivetimesyo]

@@Victory..I haha 👍🏻

[@fightinside376]

You two are genius! Absolutely deserve the Grammy nomination, and in my opinion, a win! Thank you for making great music for us ask to enjoy!

[@blom70]

Congrats for the nomination! I love your music! See you in Zurich on May 20!

[@carlbowden4712]

This was great very interesting how you did it. go win a Grammy!

[@randos.946]

Stretch Armstrong would be proud ladies !!! Keep stretching those boundaries !!! We Lovell it !!!

[@peterneukamp1884]

Stunning, interesting and instructive, and so lovely, fresh, and uniquely presented by the two of you. Thank you ever so much, Meghan and Rebecca, for allowing us this view behind the scenes!

[@michaelshervo4040]

Been watchin' y'all for years and this is the most I've ever heard Megan speak 😆 Jokes aside, this was a really cool breakdown. Congrats on the nomination. Love all the ear candy, see y'all whenever you're in Colorado, hope you play at the Grammys, and Rebecca, what are your necklaces made of?

[@joepegel]

Thanks for the peek behind the curtain. And congrats on the nomination. I'm rooting for you to win it. You ladies are my favorite band at the moment.

[@ctso74]

Congrats on the nomination! Definitely deserved it. The BTS was cool. Looking forward to the next album. Ya'll rock!

[@benheinz8817]

One thing I love is how although it's studio produced, it sounds incredibly natural and organic.

[@DylTyrril]

You ladies are amazing! You're doing your own thing, on your own terms, and the music and live performances certainly speak for themselves!! Really rooting for you to take home that Grammy!

[@madsmari]

How awesome you two are. The creative juices flow freely, I love how excited you are about making music and how independent you are in producing. You're making strides for women in the industry and proving what an amazing force you can be for just making fantastic music. Love this album, I love how you're constantly experimenting and blending elements of your different influences while still making unmistakably unique music. You're going down in history as one of the greatest. Keep it up, we're behind you all the way

[@chefouichef]

J'adore cet album, j'adore tous les autres, j'adore vos covers, j'adore ce que vous faites...............Je vous adore ! Kisses !

[@lotharwilhelm]

Congratuliations for the Grammy nomination! So cool! Your skills are truly amazing. I am waiting for your next album and hope for a live album in the future.

[@dcard52]

Congratulations and job well done ladies, have been listening to your music for over two years now and can't wait to hear what's next. Hope to see you the next time your in Detroit Rock City, need more Seger covers! Heavy Music, Night Moves or anything you might like!

[@marcinbielski9346]

Well done with your last album. You're keeping blues alive.Hope next longplay will be made in this same style.Keep going! See you at European Tour,I hope. I admire Megan's guitar play.

[@gracie9501]

PUHLEASE Ladies!!!!!! Houston Texas needs yall LIVE!!!!!!

[@sambeckham4481]

Thanks, ladies! I really enjoyed this!

[@sadiqmohamed681]

Congrats on the nomination. I love this album, and hope you win!

[@patrikhjorth3291]

Grammy nomination? Congratulations!! Edit: It's really interesting to learn about artists' creative process, and I love to hear somebody speak so enthusiastically about the details. This really enhances the experience of the music for me. Thank you! Also, a _snake skin_ pattern shirt? Fabulous, Megan, absolutely fabulous.

[@scottakam]

Congrats ladies. Well deserved nomination. You're awesome!

[@666FighterDragon]

You`re so great! i`m so damn proud to be familiar with your music. I hope Venom and Faith gets all the possible rewards and recognition, the album more than deserves it. As do you, Larkin Poe. Keep on rocking /

[@tmibeard]

Y'all killed it! Love your album. I can (and do) listen to it over and over!

[@lowellginsberg4440]

My first listen to VENOM AND FAITH I was immediately aware of it being my fav to date and now watching this behind the scenes I am finding out precisely why it is so GREAT work with the digital tech and the back home swampy feel in perfect unified blend for an award deserving album IMO see y’all in SF March 27 can’t wait for that🥰 (please MAD as a HATTER) also deep significance) TY

[@zapfogldorf]

Well deserved nomination! Happy for you guys! Love your sound so thanks for sharing so much!

[@manuelgchapajr2000]

I’m in LOVE WITH Megan

[@haldanson2183]

Talent.....everybody has some of some kind. You all have mastered your instruments and vocals, now your going to put it all together the way you want us to here it. And I'm loving It!! Seen you with Keith urban in Nashville and you all stole the show. Whatca performance for such a young couple. Man o man...the way you play your own lead and sing.

[@ancientfifer]

Woohoo, GRAMMY TIME!!!! Well deserved!

[@Metaspace2]

Thanks for the insight! Very interesting. You guys are inspiring, being so natural! I am happy for independent music receiving this amount of recognition! :) Excited to see you in Vienna again next year :) And yes: Live is what makes it magic, and creates the connection to the audience. Having experienced a band live makes listening to recordings later so different, through power of unconscious association. And performing often gives artists IMO this special traits and skills which cannot be reproduced even with the most fancy programming and engineering.

[@cajun812]

I'm very happy y'all are reapin the rewards from all the work you've put in over the years. Keep keepin it fresh for us, girls!

[@steeng7901]

This is SO great and interesting! Love it! Thanx for posting! 😍

[@danielibarrart2839]

Congratulations for nomination and for producing yourself!!! You both deserve it. Great performers!! Great music!!

[@davidjperkins1710]

So interesting seeing behind the scenes- been following for years and so glad they still use that "stomp and clap" feel in their blues and that sister dual vocal with the slide following is their signature IMHO- nobody has that formula down like them.

[@chashop1953]

Great job guys. Looking forward to your next album.

[@rayschoch5882]

This was great fun and good information. An old guy who grew up listening to Muddy Waters, Lightnin' Hopkins, and especially Jimmy Reed, I'm a big fan, especially of those videos done in someone's bedroom with just the two of you. Voices, rhythm, musical skills all being highlighted - good stuff!! Keep it up!

[@elwray3506]

Congrats on the nomination, wll deserved. Now bring it home! And thanks for the sneak peek into your work. Working with electronics I mostly get lost in all the possibilities. Rebecca did a really great job here! Can´t wait for what you have been cooking up for the next album. Keep it Larkin Poe and I´ll be glad. You go Ladies!

[@walkthroughvideos8916]

Grammy! Definately well deserved.

[@100percentbajan]

Congratulations on your nomination , you deserve and earned it !

[@emily.callahan]

Looping that static sound is genius!! This whole video was so great, really showcases your talent and creativity that remains even without vocals or instruments

[@brucecggallagher1949]

thank you for sharing and congratulations on your nomination!...cheers from British Columbia

[@YankDownUnder62]

Just awesome. Y'all just bloody cool...thank you for your music. Peace and blessings!

[@davidsockett6820]

Hey Megan and Rebecca, loved listening to you discuss your process and other stuff. This level of connection you have developed with your fans is rather very special I feel. When you talked about creating your own label, production and storytelling and the values you have with respect to these, I felt I was cheering you on even more, as I have always done. I also think keeping the freshness and spontaneity is a key element in music; especially if you want people to keep returning to it. There's a crack, where the light gets in.Lots of love.**

[@Dacilmusic]

Congratulations and thank you very much for all your amazing job and music. We need women like you in the music industry. Love from Barcelona.

[@sarib229]

Congratulations for nomination for Grammy.So proud of you guys you have come along ways. Love your music. You guys are awesome.

[@ChristiMichelleMusic]

Congratulations! You deserve this nomination! I BELIEVE!!! YOU are part of why I am making noises again. Me & my cigar box guitar ❤🎶 I love your sound and how you do it. I'm an independent artist who has similar ambitions as yours. Wish me luck💖

[@yowza234]

I really appreciate the passion you have for your sound, since it very much shows in Rebecca's meticulous care for production 👌

[@Robert_Herring]

The album is fantastic! Thanks for sharing your process.

[@rickb9238]

It is really nice to see that you two girls are truly collaborators on your music. Nice to get a glimpse on the thought process that goes into what you ladies produce musically. Thank you and keep on doing what you’re doing.👍👍

[@spiralinfected7836]

Great album!!! Have it on cd and vinyl.

[@kacyisgone6548]

I was addicted, mad as a Hatter , is one of your best songs I could relate to. Both of you are badass, don't forget that.

Love from London. Looking forward to you coming 02 next year.

[@jimz68]

You two women are just bad ass. That's all there is to it. My late Mother would have loved you and what you are doing towards the empowerment of women. Can't wait to see you when you come to San Francisco next year. Already have my ticket.

[@Devikah]

Congrats, sisters. You both earned it, for sure. Looking forward to see y'all perform live in my home town, Nashville, on April 25. Kudos to you both. ^_^

[@samanders2676]

Congratulations to both of you! You have come a long way and it’s only getting started.

[@Caddowolf]

I love the blues and I love Larkin Poe.

[@SirQuixoteofLaMancha]

Hi from the UK. Well done ladies and congrats. Just love your music and what you are doing.

[@tdrake59]

I've been listening to you for a couple of years loving your music. Saw you live at Monterey jazzfest, loved the performance. Fascinated with how you are producing your studio tracks.

[@MrJdubbya36]

Wow!!! Congrats!!! You have earned any accolades you are given, love your stuff!

[@GuteisFinger]

This was so informative and insightful about your creativity. Congratulations on your work and advancing the prospects of women to express creative control over their own art. I was knocked out by your show in Reno last February, and as cold as it was for for this Hawai`i boy, y'all heated that room up quick. On your way back from Aukland, please bring your smoking hot roots music to the 5-O. Good venues would be Hawaiian Brian's or the Paliku Theater in Honolulu. Richard Thompson has played them both, so you'd be in good company. Also, there's the Blue Note. Thank you for sharing your creative process. It's so cool to see how music can be made today. Now go and get that Grammy! Aloha and a hui hou.

[@HerwigKrumfuß]

❤you are my favoeit LOVE, LADYS

[@JonnyVegas11]

I can't wait to be able to see you two! When you come out to Boston I'll be there for sure. I would love to put some percussion to your music. I know I'm just dreaming but I can wish. 🤣🤣 Either way, love you ladies and love what and how you do it! Your Both super talented and humble people. These are the real Golden girls folks, and much prettier to boot! Peace and love to all! 🙏

[@AshokaMazda]

Excellent behind the scenes! I really enjoy listening to the breakdown of your thoughts and techniques used for the construction of your melodies. love every performance I'm able to see of you guys online and live especially. Can't wait to hear the new tunes and see you guys again in concert 2020! Any chance you're doing a New Year's show this year??? Sadly I missed last year's in Atlanta but would be totally down for it this year!
