"When you boil it down, 'Mississippi' is a love letter to the musical heritage of the southern United States," says guitarist/lead singer Rebecca Lovell. "As sisters born in Tennessee and raised in Georgia, American Roots and Blues music is the currency of our soul and, Megan and I want our songs to express that connection. We shot the music video in Nashville at our local Jumbo 24 Hour Coin Laundry with two incredible videographers, Andy Snyder and Sean O'Halloran. Andy and Sean both shoot year-round with Keith Urban - we made friends with them in 2018 when we were touring as part of KU's 'Graffiti U' tour - so we feel lucky that they were free make a video with us in one of their rare moments at home. Getting to enjoy the smell of clean laundry while also shooting a music video was definitely a first."
Larkin Poe will spend much of 2020 on the road, with wide-ranging tour dates around the globe spanning headline shows, festival appearances, and much more. The Georgia-bred, Nashville-based duo's eagerly anticipated U.S. tour begins March 14 at North Little Rock, AR's University of Arkansas - Pulaski Technical College and then travels through early April. An epic world tour will follow, including stops in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway.
