The Ephemera of Experience

Larkin Poe on Fame and Family
Megan and Rebecca Lovell, the sisters behind Larkin Poe, and I sat down with me at their very first Bourbon & Beyond. They were newbies in the business, in awe of all the giant acts. Things have certainly changed as they came back one Grammy richer and had a packed audience.
