The duo drops its eagerly awaited new album on January 24th
Grammy-winning sisters Larkin Poe are kicking off the new year with their latest single, “Easy Love Pt. 1,” available now via their own Tricki-Woo Records. An official music video premieres on YouTube. The track heralds Larkin Poe’s upcoming new album, Bloom, arriving Friday, January 24th.
“‘Easy Love Pt. 1’ is, hands down, the truest and most detailed love song I’ve ever written,” says Rebecca Lovell. “As referenced in the lyrics: there is in fact an Eiffel Tower recreation in Paris, TX. And yes, it does have a little cowboy hat on top. We can’t wait to perform this song live, the instrumental interlude creates a trippy little 70’s rock ’n’ roll moment that we can’t wait to jam out.”
Having just appeared with Ringo Starr at the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Larkin Poe will mark this week’s arrival of Bloom with an eagerly awaited late-night TV performance of “Easy Love Pt. 1” on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, set for tonight (Wed, Jan 22nd).
Bloom – which follows 2023’s Blood Harmony – was first unveiled this fall following Larkin Poe’s Duo/Group of the Year triumph at the 2024 Americana Honors & Awards. The album includes such recently released singles as the passionately mindful “Little Bit,” the contemplative opening track, “Mockingbird,” the lush, blues-soaked “If God Is A Woman,” and the genre-bending “Bluephoria,” all accompanied by official music videos streaming now at YouTube.
The duo’s prestigious Duo/Group of the Year victory marked the latest achievement in what is proving a landmark 2024 for the dynamic sister duo, beginning with their first career Grammy Award, winning Best Contemporary Blues Album for 2023’s critically acclaimed sixth studio album, Blood Harmony. Bloom sees Larkin Poe venturing on their evolving musical journey with songs that resonate with introspection, authenticity, and a profound connection to their roots in American music. Produced and largely co-written by Megan, Rebecca, and Tyler Bryant, the album marks a significant evolution for Larkin Poe, reflecting a synergy that extends beyond mere musical partnership. Already hailed for the sincerity of their songcraft, the Lovell sisters now place an even greater spotlight on their gift for storytelling, delving deep into personal narratives with universal themes of self-acceptance and individuality against a backdrop of contemporary blues and rock influences. With their distinctive blend of poetic lyricism, masterful instrumentation, and soulful harmonies, songs like “Little Bit” and the gritty punk-energized anthem “Pearls” affirm their willingness to confront current realities while staying true to their musical heritage. A triumphant celebration of the authentic self, Bloom fully cements Larkin Poe’s status as a modern torchbearer of American roots music, inviting their ever-growing fan following to flourish and thrive alongside them.
In addition, Larkin Poe has united with a pair of indisputable British rock legends for a series of remarkable collaborations. First, the duo are featured on Elvis Costello’s recently released King Of America & Other Realms box set, performing a new version of his “That’s Not The Part Of Him You’re Leaving.” Costello – along with T-Bone Burnett in their guise as The Coward Brothers – also invited Larkin Poe to join them for exclusive live performances on both CBS’s Late Show with Stephen Colbert and CBS Saturday Morning. What’s more, Larkin Poe has teamed with the one and only Ringo Starr on his just-released new album, Look Up, joining Billy Strings for a featured appearance on the new T-Bone Burnett-composition, “Rosetta.”
Larkin Poe will celebrate Bloom with a very special appearance at Nashville’s historic Grand Ole Opry commemorating Opry 100 on Friday, January 24th, alongside performances from The Oak Ridge Boys, and more. Saturday, January 25th will then see the duo hitting Nashville’s Grimey’s New & Preloved Music for an intimate in-store performance, album signing and “block party” featuring flash tattoos, Bloom lattes, an embroidery station, and more. From there, Larkin Poe will cross the Atlantic for a visit to London’s Rough Trade East that includes an in-store performance and album signing session as well as an additional matinee live performance, both set for Tuesday, January 28th.
The epic Bloom Tour officially gets underway on April 8th at St. Louis’ The Hawthorn and then travels North America, Europe, and the United Kingdom through November. Highlights include headline dates at such vaunted venues as Denver, CO’s Ogden Theatre, Vancouver, BC’s Commodore Ballroom, Los Angeles’ The Fonda Theatre, San Francisco, CA’s The Fillmore, and others. Special guests for North America include Parker Milsap from April 8-27 and Amythyst Kiah from May 8-17. In addition, top-billed festival performances in 2025 include Del McCoury’s DelFest in Cumberland, MD in May, Floyd, VA’s FloydFest, in July, and Las Vegas’ Big Blues Bender in September.
