GRAMMY® Award-nominated sister duo Larkin Poe have revealed the new video for ’Holy Ghost Fire’, the latest track from their new album, SELF MADE MAN.
"’Holy Ghost Fire’ is our anthem for the healing power of music. When we wrote the song a couple of months ago, we had no idea how cathartic it would be for us to release a song of optimism and unity during these uncertain times.
“Our whole crew has been on lockdown here in Nashville, Tennessee, so we had to think outside the box and flex our DIY muscles to get this music video made from quarantine. Rebecca's husband Tyler Bryant shot the performance footage of us in a vacant lot next to an AutoZone and even the homeless guy stayed 6-feet away out of respect to social-distancing measures.”
Originally due to tour Europe next month, Larkin Poe have also announced their rescheduled tour dates, which will now take place in February 2021 along with some additional dates added and venue changes. You can find full details and tickets at the band’s website here.

The new album SELF MADE MAN comes out Friday June 12th , via the band’s own Tricki-Woo Records and you can pre-order it here. All pre-orders will be joined by instant grat downloads of ‘Holy Ghost Fire’ and the album’s acclaimed first single, ‘She’s A Self Made Man’.
SELF MADE MAN sees the multi-instrumentalist sister duo, comprised of the Atlanta-bred, Nashville-based Rebecca and Megan Lovell, pushing their music and message towards hitherto unexplored terrain, inspired by their epic world travels yet still powerfully rooted in the creative heritage of their beloved American South.
The album’s lead single ‘She’s A Self Made Man’, with its playfully pointed gender twist gives the LP its title and serves as an anthem for Larkin Poe, kicking off the proceedings with a big riffed assertion of their current intent and amplified artistic power.
The video for ‘She’s A Self Made Man’ was released with Clash naming the “biting, fantastically emphatic new single” as its ‘Track of the Day’, and noting, “Its crunching guitar palette is augmented by flashes of sterling Americana, hearkening to their Nashville base.”
Whilst Classic Rock declared, “'She’s A Self Made Man’ kicks all kinds of ass. If delta blues had a baby with punk, and raised it on beefy rock’n’roll, it might have turned out like this.”
