Set to make their debut in Singapore, popular American roots band Larkin Poeis fronted by sisters Rebecca and Megan Lovell. The four-piece band’s music is Southern American-inspired with big toe-tapping guitar riffs and catchy harmonies, and was named the best discovery at the Glastonbury festival in 2014. Their critically acclaimed new album, Venom & Faith, has been regarded as a beguiling mix of Gothic soul and outlaw country. From Rebecca’s powerful vocals on “Ain’t Gonna Cry” to Megan’s sultry lap steel on “Good And Gone”, the sisters weave their talents into the fabric of their experience and a picture of the American South. “Blue Ridge Mountains” harkens to the sisters’ hometown, “drinking sweet tea every day” with stomping percussion and churning riffs.
