Larkin Poe, the Grammy Award-winning duo of Georgia-bred, Nashville-based multi-instrumentalist sisters Rebecca and Megan Lovell, keep it rolling this year with the release of a new single and video, titled “Bluephoria,” available now via their own Tricki-Woo Records.
Fittingly, their video was filmed in The Blue Room at Nashville, TN’s Third Man Records. This arrives just as they head out on tour for the summer, first in Europe, then in the US.
Larkin Poe says:
Once upon a time: we caught a case of the blues so deep and all-encompassing that it launched us on a euphoric exploration. Bluephoria’ is a rock ’n’ roll rumination on the duality of the human experience; deep down in the quietest place where the bitter and the sweet twine together, and suffering/joy are galvanized into meaning. Take special note of the second verse which was inspired by the words of legendary Memphis bluesman Furry Lewis, who is quoted as having said: ‘Now I know I ain’t a star, but I sure might be a moon.’
2024 got off to a triumphant start for Larkin Poe, beginning with their first career Grammy Award, winning “Best Contemporary Blues Album” for 2022’s sixth studio album, Blood Harmony. They also won an Americana Music Honors & Awards nomination for “Duo/Group of the Year.”
In addition, Larkin Poe recently kicked off their new “American Girls with Larkin Poe” series on SiriusXM’s Tom Petty Radio (Channel 31), airing weekly with Roots Rock ‘n’ Roll, R&B, Blues, and more, plus an exclusive Tom Petty cover in every episode.
