Larkin Poe will be performing at Inchyra Arts Club on Monday, April 8 as part of their tour of the Europe.

“The follow-up to their critically acclaimed second album‘Peach’, which was nominated for a Blues Music Award for best emerging artist album,‘Venom and Faith’was produced by the band and engineered by their long-time collaborat­or Roger Alan Nichols.
