Rebecca Lovell’s mandolin prowess and the family’s collaborative spirit were showcased early, including Rebecca’s 2006 MerleFest mandolin contest win—the youngest and only woman to win at that time. Their 2008 John Lennon Songwriting Contest Grand Prize in the Country category for Distance, and an International Songwriting Competition honorable mention for Time to Grow, mark high points in their songwriting craft. The Lovell Sisters released Time to Grow (2009), a live DVD from Philadelphia Folk Festival (2008), and When Forever Rolls Around (2005). A major career shift occurred when Jessica left the group, leading Megan and Rebecca to form Larkin Poe, a blues-rock direction that gained significant recognition, including Grammy nominations for later work. While 2025 tours are led by Larkin Poe, The Lovell Sisters’ history remains a cornerstone of Georgia’s bluegrass and Americana scene. For those exploring roots-based music with trio harmonies, their early work is essential listening.
