After this shenanigans, I decided to dive deeper. So it turns out, they can sing their asses off too! After they released a video of their cover of “Preachin Blues” by Son House, wife of Bob Seger, Juanita Dorricott shared the video with Bob and he approached them to go on the road with him on the one condition they play this song every night…

Their band is made up of sisters, Rebecca and Megan Lovell, out of Atlanta Georgia. They are accompanied by Mr. Kevin McGowan on drums and Tarka Layman on bass and these cats don’t play around.

Fun-fact! These two ladies are related to one, Mister Edgar Allen Poe! Their great, great, great, great Grandfather was named Larkin Poe, a distant cousin of Edgar. Ok, it may be distant, but these ladies are in the loop. Given their quick-witted stanzas, I think it’s safe to say they picked up a serious edge in the music and lyrics department when it comes to their heritage.
