These Edgar Allen Poe descendants are freaking amazing. Are there better guitar playing sisters than Rebecca and Megan Lovell? Like, ever? Man, they nearly blew the roof off Tipitina’s. The whole show was like this - a band having fun, just loving what they're doing. Megan (slide) once said, "perfection isn’t the goal. Sometimes so-called mistakes can be magical." And Rebecca said on writing, "I feel like I do my best work whenever I get the musical vibe rolling in one direction, with a riff buckled in the backseat, before passing the steering wheel off to the lyrics." We think the riff led to this lyric in this song:

 

We got just enough punk to play a little harder
We've come this far, now let's go a little farther

 

Man, music's where it's at.

I always love me some Anders. This guy is a guitar god. His set at T Bois Blues Fest was un-f-ing-believable. Dude is so cool and fun. And did I mention he can really play that guitar? For those who don’t know, he’s Swedish, but he’s also a true New Orleanian. Lives right in Mid-City and you can always find him at festivals and doing shows around town. I don’t want to presume but this song must have a lot of personal meeting to him as he’s dealt with some demons in his time. It’s from 2012, but do yourself a favor and listen to Picasso’s Villa, his latest album.
