(Honesdale, May 10, 2017)\u2026 Called a \u201cswaggeringly bad girl bluesy rock band\u201d by music media, \u00a0Larkin Poe, a sibling duo out of Georgia, will headline the 12th<\/sup> annual Honesdale Roots & Rhythm Music & Arts Festival on June 17th. \u00a0Also dubbed \u201ca sister act with staying power\u201d by NPR, these two ladies \u201cshould have the Roots crowd off their feet and dancing by night\u2019s end,\u201d says Randy Kohrs, music committee chairperson. The two sisters, Rebecca and Megan Lovell have racked up a season of touring highlights… including being part of the All-Star backing band during the 2017 MusiCares Person of the Year tribute concert honoring Tom Petty in February.\u00a0 The pair have appeared on Conan O\u2019Brien\u2019s late night show and been featured in Guitar Player Mag, Acentric Mag and Pure Volume.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we were trying to decide who we wanted, everyone liked Larkin Poe,\u201d continues Randy, \u201cbut we\u2019ve got it all this year\u2014from rock to Blues to country and folk.\u201d<\/p>\n

The festival\u2019s main stage lineup will kick off with Bluesman Bruce Katz and his band, followed by Thomas Wynn and The Believers and then No Good Sister before Larkin Poe.<\/p>\n

No Good Sister is actually a trio of ladies\u2014 hailed as \u201cmasters of three-part harmony\u201d \u2013 from the Philadelphia area who started singing together in 2012. This spring they released their first full-length studio album, You Can Love Me.<\/p>\n

No sister in their name, but Olivia Wynn is the sister of band leader Thomas in the group, Thomas Wynn & The Believers! This ensemble of five men and a woman personifies rugged, yet uplifting spirited rock, sprinkled with southern soul R&B, or according to the Chicago entertainment website Metromix, they deliver \u201csoulful, gritty tunes, some as sweet as honeysuckle and others ferociously jagged.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bruce Katz and his band start off the whole show in Central Park at 1:30pm. Katz is a four-time nominee for the Blues Music Award and was inducted into the New York Blues Hall of Fame in 2013.<\/p>\n

Honesdale Roots & Rhythm officially opens at 10:30am with local bands along Main Street and then moves to Central Park, where attendees can enjoy arts, crafts,\u00a0 games and food. This non-profit event is totally free of charge, put on entirely by volunteers and supported by sponsors, donors and grants.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s family friendly and a really good time,\u201d says this year\u2019s Festival Chair Jamie Stunkard. \u201cCome join us on June 17th<\/sup>!\u201d<\/p>\n
