“I grew up playing bluegrass… it’s taken me years to lighten up my right hand to where I’m not breaking strings every 30 seconds!” Larkin Poe have worked on music together since they were toddlers – and their guitar sisterhood has never been stronger

Megan and Rebecca Lovell of Larkin Poe sit on vintage Silverface Fender tube amps as they are photographed against a deep red background, with roses strewn on the floor in front of them.

There are few bands that combine roots rock, classic rock, Americana and bluegrass with the blissful ease of Larkin Poe. As far as the guitars go, sisters Rebecca and Megan Lovell were born to do it. They’re dyed-in-the-wool lovers of all things timeless, which shows in their music – especially their latest record, Bloom.

When reflecting on their approach to the guitars on Bloom, Rebecca keeps it short, telling Guitarist: “It’s just guitar served up neat.” But, of course, there’s more beneath the surface. Megan adds: “When flowers bloom, they don’t stay around forever; they die, wilt, fall off the vine and then another one grows. That’s how we view our process.
