Cambridge Folk Festival offered a wide range of musical entertainment at Cherry Hinton Hall Park over 4 days at the end of July. I was there for Day 3, Saturday 27 July. The weather was warm and sunny, setting very busy with everyone creating a very friendly atmosphere, enjoying the various acts on the 3 stages through the day, with an abundance of excellent catering and bars available. So , having set the scene, as we moved into the evening , I found the ideal spot to fully enjoy and appreciate the awesome talents of Rebecca and Megan Lovell and co, as Larkin Poe delivered another blistering session of southern rock and blues, headlining the main stage late in the day, and perfectly bringing a great days entertainment to a close.

Always a good show and the girls were on form. The set list wasn't quite as dynamic as previous tours, Meg's equipment broke down and the acoustic microphone was too quiet. Support act The Sheepdogs were awesome and rocked hard and full - very impressed! Venue (O2 Academy Bristol) let's M&G in first with the O2 queue 2nd pushing 'normal' punters back. Security split the main line into 2 so a bunfight after passing metal detectors. Be warned, the M32 closes a lot after showtime for roadworks so plan an extra ½hour if going that way as no detour signs!

A band I only discovered this year thanks to the YouTube algorithm. I mostly follow indie bands but I enjoyed blues / rock when I was younger. Based on the gig videos I thought that they'd be good live and they didn't disappoint. The mini acoustic set part way through was unexpected but just added to overall experience. I'll definitely go again if they make it back to Stockholm.

My wife and I were blown away. Being fans through CDs, YouTube and their website. We knew we were in for a great show, but this was above anything we could have imagined. A few weeks before the show I was told that I was (still) cancer free now 1 year. The concert was our celebration of that good news. Their music was one of several artists that helped me on those bad days of anxiety, depression and the effects of my radiation treatments.

Meeting Rebecca and Megan was a very pleasant experience. They are very down to earth and grounded. I bought tickets for my 14 year old daughter, but because of her age she wasn’t allowed to attend the venue for Meet and Greet, or the concert. So Anna their manager ,and Rya N their tour manager,organised for my daughter to meet them back stage at the Corner hotel in Richmond. Everybody was very warm and inviting. The concert itself was electric. The tones Rebecca gets from her guitar are amazing., and her voice and presence are commanding. Megan shines on her solo performances, and both girls, and their band , are a match for any high ranking musician anywhere in the world. They are a Presence. A heart felt thank you to them, and their management. Robert and Gypsy. 12/04/2023

Hometown Sisters returned to a sold out Home crowd to finish off their US swing. They showed up with full burners on to Kick Ass and Take Names with a FANTASTIC HIGH ENERGY SHOW. Amazing talents who have a ball on stage and are living proof that ROCK AND ROLL IS FAR FROM DEAD........GREAT FUN SHOW! They are the new Anne and Nancy Wilson of today. I cannot think a a better birthday present to myself! IF YOU GET A CHANCE!! GO SEE THEM!! THEY ARE THE REAL DEAL AND FUN TO BOOT!!!

an absolutely an incredible show by Larkin Poe. they are so full of energy. they have such a good catalog of music. there latest release, "Blood Harmony" has some really good music on it. traveled over three hours to see Larkin Poe it was well worth the trip. Larkin Poe, is one of bands that i will travel to see. i just cannot wait to so see these immensely talented ladies perform again.

One of two shows I concider to be the best I’ve ever seen ! I’m 78 years old and ever since I went to college in south Louisiana I’ve followed music with a blues backbone ! Larkin Poe did not disappoint !! The girls gave their whole heart , soul and energy to each song they performed ! Down south we have a term - “ House Rocking Rhythm “ - they definitely got it !

There's something in the water down in Tennessee, or maybe it's the whiskey. Larkin Poe proved that they sure can play, serving up like a shot of Tennessee Whisky, wowing a packed Commodore Ballroom, leaving Vancouver enthralled. They put on an incredibly entertaining concert., rocking & rolling, with a Bluesy undertone, plus a touch of country, & a little bit of gospel thrown in for good measure. It was high energy & fully entertaining from start to finish. For those who were there, many seeing Larkin Poe for the fist time,, we hope we won't have to wait too long to welcome them back 5 Stars out of 5

I was so excited to see my new favorite bad ass band, Larkin Poe. They were amazing - so fun, full of love, soulful energy and electric personality. Love their homage to the blues. Can't wait to see them again - every chance I get. Their new album is destined to be one of their best yet. Rock on, Lovell sisters! You've got lots of fans in Alabama and San Diego.

I bought a ticket for the Wille Nelson Outlaw concert for the sole intent of seeing LarkinPoe again. I just wish they were given a longer set to perform. I'm actually editing photos from the show as we speak. I will pe posting later this evening at http:// www.reflectionsrememberedphotography.com The pics will be under the client's tab. I wish someone would have responded to my requests for a photo pass for the show so I could bring my pro body and lense in. I reached out to everyone for three months with no reply at all. All in all, great show!!! Don Livingston Reflections Remembered Photography

On the 8th of june we could finally see Larkin Poe after a covid delay of 2 years. I saw the 11 years ago on The Cayamo music cruise and they were at the beginning of their carrier, with al more folkish music catalogue. May concerts and years further they were great in Paradiso amsterdam, main stage. Their blues rock show is very energetic with an enthousiastic performance of their front ladies Rebecca and Megan Lovell. Live is great when you can visit this show and enjoy all the positive power. Wow ! Looking forward to their new album which is been set in november. We heard a couple of new songs and they remain the high quality at ease. If they are playing in your country next time.....buy tickets ! jan putting dutch fan

Die Vorgruppe war nicht schlecht . Aber Larkin Poe ist doch was ich hören wollte . Der Weg von Frankfurt nach Köln hat sich allemal gelohnt . Die Mädels sind mit Bass und Drums ein sehr gut eingespieltes Team. Normalerweise kriegt mich keiner mehr zum Life Konzert. Aber da gehe sicher gerne nochmal hin. Das Publikum auch sehr angenehme Gesellschaft. Auch die Startzeiten sehr moderat. Ja, ich fand keinen Grund nicht nochmal hinzugehen.

I GUESS THE PEOPLE WHO HAD BOOKED AN EXPENSIVE 'MEET AND GREET,' ( I WAS NOT ONE OF THEM), WHO WERE KEPT WAITING OUTSIDE FOR OVER AN HOUR, WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN IMPRESSED BY THE WAY THEY WERE TREATED. AS FOR MYSELF, ( I WAS ON THE BALCONY) WHERE THE BENCH TYPE SEATING WAS VERY HARD ON THE BUM AFTER A COUPLE OF HOURS. QUITE UNCOMFORTABLE! LARKIN POE WERE VERY GOOD THROUGHOUT, PLAYING A VERY ENERGETIC SET. REBECCA IS A FINE FRONTSWOMAN FOR THE BAND, SLICK AND CONFIDENT, REALLY GREAT VOCALS AND A FINE GUITARIST. I THINK, AFTER SEEING THEM IN A BAND FORMAT THOUGH, I MIGHT PREFER TO SEE THEM PLAYING ACCOUSTIC, AS I FELT THAT MEGANS GREAT WORK ON THE SLIDE GETS A BIT LOST IN THE BAND SOUND. MY ONLY REAL RESERVATION ABOUT THEIR PERFORMANCE WAS THAT THEY PLAYED MOSTLY ROCK AND VERY LITTLE STRAIGHT BLUES. THEY DID PLAY 'PREACHIN' BLUES' WHICH IS MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE OF THEIR TRACKS. LESS ROCK AND MORE BLUES, PLEASE GIRLS! TO CONCLUDE, A BRILLIANT BAND, AND WORTH THE TWO YEAR WAIT. I SHOULD ALSO MENTION THE SUPPORT, RYAN McMULLAN, WHO DID WELL WITH THE SHORT TIME HE WAS ALLOWED. A GOOD SINGER WITH GOOD SONGS.

My first time seeing them after hearing my boyfriend rave about them for a year. I was blown away , the second she started singing I got chills all over my body. This has only happened before on my arms. Her voice is absolutely perfect and they put on a good show. Great music and I cant wait to see them again.

These young ladies were awesome. Very talented musicians and younger sis had a voice to die for. The best thing about Bluesfest is discovering new fresh energetic artists that reflect tradition and excel with their talent, taking things to new places. OUTSTANDING!!! Come back to Australia soon please. I WILL be there! Stars of the festival.

Outstanding. Very energetic and engaging. The venue allowed close proximately to the Larkin Poe, especially the VIP package. Being the second time I've seen them I knew I would love their performance but the first time was as a duet and this time was with a band. Pure emotion watching them on stage with all the electronic splendor our hearts could use. 😉. Love this band and will make every effort to see them again. Unfortunately meeting them this time won't register the next time because between now and then, whenever that may be, they will undoubtedly interact with many many hundreds of people at a level above mine. But this concert gave us our time with them both at least this once. I'll cherish that forever.

These 2 sisters are awesome. Both are beautiful and they are also beautiful people. They genuinely love the fans. Rebecca is the outgoing conversationalist with a personality that exudes kindheartedness and a true happiness that is so hard to find these days. Every bit the same wonderful person as her sister, Megan seems the shy, introverted beauty. Maybe not as outgoing and talkative but always ready with a gorgeous smile and at least a kind word or two. Offstage these are two of the sweetest people I have ever had the privilege to meet. Onstage, they have a showmanship beyond their years. When they are up there playing, they both OWN the atmosphere. From the first note, the crowd is hurled through the night on a wild ride of some of THE best blues-based rock available today. But, to label these girls with one genre is an impossible task. The cover tunes they play and sing are entrenched with such soul and feeling and a thunderous punch of style all their own that grabs the listener by the throat and does not let go. The blues influenced are the easiest to spot. These young ladies have centered their sound around solid blues. But, there is so much more. There's a whole world of influence in there. One song, I could have sworn Jimmy Page handed them the guitar work on a silver platter. Jim Morrison in all his haunting psychadelia seemed to grace the stage at times. The Allman Brothers, Warren Haynes, Bonnie Raitt, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton are all represented. These girls have somehow combined the last 70 years of music, from Robert Johnson and Son House to U2 and Pink Floyd, and made it a medley of hard-hitting, in-your-face, take charge, powerhouse blues/rock. And probanly the best selling point is the 2 beautiful little packages it is all wrapped up in

I can without a doubt say that the crowd from this show was the loudest I’ve been in. And all from singing every song and cheering Larkin Poe on. I had an awesome time, as always. You know it’s great when your voice is gone from singing every song at the top of your lungs (not so good to listen back on the videos afterwards though *cringe* lol.) along with the band. Even with the technical difficulties and the one “very enthusiastic” fan that had to be pulled away by security, the girls put on one HELL of a show. Can’t wait to see them again. 🖤🖤🖤

Wow! I was lucky enough to be upfront at a small venue and they killed it! The tone from these two is sooo tasty! Q&A session After along with Autographs and REBL even asked if I wanted a pic.. Heck Yes I did!! Excited to see them Soar among the greats. And become one. Hope to see them Playing at Red Rock, Meeting Bonnie Raitt, and grabbing their Grammy.
