Devin Townsend has hit the road, again. And if you’ve seen his social media posts, this could be the last time for quite a while. So a packed house at The Fillmore Silver Spring may have recently gotten their last Devin fix for some time. But what a fix! Devin played a career-spanning set that included music from almost every iteration of his long, storied career so far.

Larkin Poe has been compared to The Allman Brothers Band. And, to be sure, there’s Southern Rock in what they do. They also feature a dual guitar attack by the Lovell sisters, although in the form of a standard electric (Rebecca) and lap steel (Megan). While these comparisons aren’t unfair, they just scratch the surface: The Lovell sisters grew up playing bluegrass, and they continue to incorporate country and acoustic into what they do. The diversity of their influences — Southern rock, electic blues, bluegrass, and more — has led them to develop a unique and eclectic approach, all of which was on display in their recent sold-out appearance at the 9:30 Club.
