It was clear that they put in a lot of effort to make sure the audience was having a great time and it paid off with room full of smiling concert goers.
Larkin Poe’s performance was nothing short of electrifying. The American roots rock duo, consisting of sisters Rebecca and Megan Lovell, took the stage and had the audience captivated from the get-go.

Throughout the night, the onlookers were treated to a mix of original songs, including “Kick the Blues,” “Summertime Sunset,” and “Back Down South”, and a couple delightful covers in Link Wray’s “Rumble” and Son House’s “Preachin’ Blues”.
The setlist was well-curated, featuring a mix of old tracks and new material. The audience was especially eager to hear tracks from the band’s latest album, including “She’s a Self Made Man,” “Mad as a Hatter,” and “Bleach Blonde Bottle Blues.” The crowd sang along and swayed to the bluesy and soulful sounds of Larkin Poe, with each song bringing a new level of energy and excitement to the room.
The crowd at the Commodore Ballroom was a good mix of ages, but it leaned more towards an older demographic. Nevertheless, the band’s high-energy performance and powerful music seemed to connect with people of all ages, and the audience was enthralled from start to finish. The Lovell sisters’ seamless integration of blues, rock, and country influences, as well as their exceptional musicianship, made for a night of live music that was truly unforgettable.
