In an era where the voices of women in music echo louder than ever, Larkin Poe is set to take the stage with a tour that embodies empowerment and artistry. The sister duo, Rebecca and Megan Lovell, have announced their 2025 Bloom Tour, coinciding with the release of their latest album, Bloom. Hailing from Georgia and now based in Nashville, Larkin Poe embodies a blend of blues, rock, and Americana that captivates audiences worldwide. The announcement comes shortly after their performance on Joe Bonamassa's Keeping the Blues Alive at Sea X cruise, which showcased their dynamic sound to a passionate audience.
This year marks a significant milestone for the Lovell sisters, following their Grammy win for Best Contemporary Blues Album for Blood Harmony in 2024. "History isn’t quick to point it out, but Rock ‘n’ Roll has been underpinned by a strong, matrilineal root," the sisters stated in a released statement. They are committed to celebrating and building upon that legacy with their new album and upcoming tour.
Bloom debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Blues album charts, signaling a profound connection with fans and critics alike. The album reflects the band's evolution as musicians and individuals, capturing the essence of their experiences and struggles. The sound is heavily influenced by rich blues traditions but presents an innovative take that resonates with contemporary audiences.
In an interview leading up to the album’s release, Megan Lovell shared insights into the creative process behind Bloom: “Every song we have written for this album carries a piece of us—our adventures, our challenges, and our dreams.”
The songs on Bloom continue in the vein of storytelling that Larkin Poe is known for, each track painted with vivid imagery and emotional weight, enriched by their intricate harmonies and instrumental prowess.
The 2025 Bloom Tour begins on April 8 and will include a mixture of club performances, festival appearances, and notable venues across North America and Europe.
Here’s a detailed look at the key dates for their tour:
