Today’s song is “Stubborn Love” by Larkin Poe. This Atlanta-based duo is comprised of sisters Rebeca Lovell (lead singer, guitar, mandolin, violin) and Megan Lovell (harmony vocals, slide guitar, lapsteel, dobro). Descendants of tortured artist and creative genius, Edgar Allen Poe. At a young age, the girls were classically trained on violin and piano while being exposed to classic rock icons including Fleetwood Mac and Pink Floyd. Rebecca (lead singer) plays guitar, mandolin as well as violin and Megan (harmony vocals) contributes on slide guitar, lapsteel as well as dobro. After experimenting with an array of musical styles, they found a way to blend together a sound that channels their distinct voice.
The girls have shared the stage with as a backing band for Elvis Costello and Kristian Bush (Sugarland). Costello deemed the ladies “already gifted as instrumentalists, they have a head start on the rest of us with the unique power and beauty of sibling harmony”.
This song is off the band’s KIN album out now via RH Music. The female group has a signature soulful rock sound that will hit home indie rock lovers. The duo are currently on tour with Conor Oberst as direct support in addition to performing as his backing band (see dates below).
