Larkin Poe - Baloise Session, Event Halle, Basel, Switzerland, 11-6-2025

Oh we DO like Larkin Poe! Paul says : Here's a fairly recent concert by Larkin Poe. Well, a few months back as I write this in April 2026, at any rate. They're one of my favorite "newer" acts (by my "kids, get off my lawn" standards, hehehe), and I like to promote them by posting unreleased things from them. It's been a while since the last album I posted though. One reason is their "Tip O' the Hat" acoustic covers have slowed down to nearly nothing. Also, I haven't come across recent material with worthy sound quality. But then I came across this.

For this concert, the two Larkin Poe sisters (Rebecca Lovell and Megan Lovell) rocked out with a full band. I have to admit I prefer their acoustic style, since I like acoustic music in general. But this is a lot of fun. They certainly can do both styles very well.

This comes from the "Baloise Session" TV show. So far, I haven't really posted anything from this show. But it's been going since the 1980s, and broadcasts full concerts on various European TV stations. (As far as I can tell, it only gets to the U.S. via the Internet.) So even though this is unreleased, it's very well produced, and the sound quality is excellent. I found a video of this concert, converted it to audio, and broke it into mp3s.

I believe all the songs here are originals. In early 2025, Larkin Poe released their studio album "Bloom." A lot of the songs come from that. 

And by the way, congrats to them for winning a "Best Contemporary Blues Album" Grammy Award in 2024 for their album "Blood Harmony." They've never had a hit, and they don't fit the modern pop scene so they don't get much radio play, but they've been steadily growing in popularity by being really good and constantly promoting and performing. 

This album is an hour and ten minutes long.
