They're really good, and I really like them, but have you heard of Larkin Poe? Now that's one of the very best bands to come around in the last 20 years, and we mustn't forget Rival Sons.
@@audiophileman7047 In Dea Matrona's live stream wherein they were signing their most recent 12" single ("Glory, Glory I am Free") someone asked if they had heard Larkin Poe. While Mollie was answering, "Yes, we saw them recently and love them..." Orláith was producing a Larkin Poe pick from her pocket. If you're carrying a band's pick around with you I think that means you like them a lot! I get it; I've been following Larkin Poe for a while now, as I play a similar instrument to what Megan Lovell plays (i.e. non-Pedal Steel Guitar, though mine has 8 strings, legs, and is my 2nd instrument, 6-string Guitar being primary). They're talented & super-entertaining. There are several great young Guitar-oriented artists right now in the Blues/Rock vein who are leading a resurgence. Where the interview above took place, Austin TX, there's the amazing Jackie Venson (her playing is mind-bending). In the Midwest USA there's Samantha Fish, who will be at Clapton's Crossroads this year (she is also mentioned in the same Dea Matrona live stream as someone they appreciate). Here in Chicago, IL we're blessed to have the phenomenal Melody Angel, who recently was one of the main acts at the city's annual Blues fest (can't recommend her highly enough!). It's a great time for this kind of music!
@@scottschenke Oh, I'm fully aware that at least one of Dea Matrona's band members likes Larkin Poe. I was on a live stream with Rebecca & Megan when I saw a post from Orlaith. I talked to her a little and told her how I thought Dea Matrona was a great band. She thanked me. Dea Matrona is very wise to look to Larkin Poe for not just inspiration but also ideas. I'd throw in the Danielle Nicole Band, Carolyn Wonderland, and Sue Foley for female fronted bands as well. Are you familiar with Tab Benoit? He's been around for a while, but his version of Bayou Blues played on a '70's Fender Thinline Tele is truly something to behold, just excellent!
@@audiophileman7047 Great you had the opportunity to address Orláith directly. I've read some folks who have seen them live say that she seems to be the more outgoing one, more likely to stick around late & talk to fans, etc. She seems like a really kind person. There's just so much good music happening now; I don't have time for it all! I can barely keep up with all of the new stuff I'm stumbling upon. Only found Dea Matrona 2 weeks ago & after an exhaustive deep dive they're already atop my favorites list! (I do enjoy Tab Benoit, as a former wielder-of-Tele myself...)
I saw them busking on a cold afternoon in Belfast and was struck but how incredibly talented they are. They're only going to go from strength to strength.
Orlaith and Molly are such excecllent guitarists (switching bass and lead!), beautiful voices, great stage presence, and just plain lovely! You girls got it!
These young ladies are just so great, excellent playing, harmonies, original songs that are just fantastic and their covers just beautifully done...I have really astronomical hopes for them!!
I would've liked to hear the questions a bit better but I go the gist of it, anyway. Good interview. I've watched these women since they hit CZcams and every new song impresses me. I'd definitely like to see an album in the near future. Here's hoping!
That's Nothern Ireland still! Together with Mollie the band is excellent and can't wait to see them in England and how they evolve. I don't know the name of the male drummer (he's pretty good) and how long he's with them since Mamie, Mollie's sister, sadly left to further her education. Maybe she will return
Best new band in over 20 years.
20 plus

Beautiful Irish young women have been a joy to watch grow up. They'll make it big soon and I can say I knew them when.
They are talented instrumentally and already have a great catalogue of their own songs, such a good foundation; so bodes well for the future
No pretense at all, genuine and talented, a very rare thing these days, belfast should be proud
Well done Orlaith.
Great interview, great band, Dea Matrona are brilliant live!
Yes!!Well done
Awesome accent. Greetings from Scotland.
Orlaith and Molly are such excecllent guitarists (switching bass and lead!), beautiful voices, great stage presence, and just plain lovely! You girls got it!
She has so much poise. Already a pro performer. Just has that spark and drive. You can really see it.
Yes! Her😂look😢dosen't hurt anything ❤
@@tomharris5890 Doesn't hurt, but her playing can't be faked. She's better than many pro musicians.
She is such a beautiful person inside and out and such a good friend to Mollie that I can't help but wish them so much success.
It is really a delight to hear Dea Matrona play. They're continuing a great tradition of rock-n-roll. I see a bright future for them. 🎸🎸🥁
Siren Song is still my favorite. Hope it makes it onto the album. Shame they never play it live.
It IS a superb song- to think it was written and produced by teenagers! Same with 'Twisted.'
I love their early stuff ! It was clear they had ' IT ' even from the start ☺
They are going to blow up any day now.
Rock n Roll Angel 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
She seems to be a very nice person ! I like her .
love DEA MATRONA ! so happy for them ! wb
These young ladies are just so great, excellent playing, harmonies, original songs that are just fantastic and their covers just beautifully done...I have really astronomical hopes for them!!
That was nice , thanks.
Absolutely 'RADIANT'! 💖
Love her.
Linda, um doce 😊
Great quick interview Marco. Orlaith, charming, down to earth. Love it. Come to the States, particularly, New Mexico. Cheers❤❤👑👑❤❤
Nice honest interview from Orlaith . Great that she promotes not only DM but other Belfast bands ☺
I would've liked to hear the questions a bit better but I go the gist of it, anyway. Good interview. I've watched these women since they hit CZcams and every new song impresses me. I'd definitely like to see an album in the near future. Here's hoping!
Great band...
I just love Oraith what to go check you guys out in the UK until then keep rockin'
Loved this interview keep on Rockin!!
Lovely lady you're a babe 😘
How's the craic?
She's cuter than a bed bug!
Very tallented. I have a copy of their cd ep. I enjoy the 2 ladies singing and playing. Not a fan of the replacement drummer!
Couldn't you find a noisier place for the interview?
Hope she is not picking up a yankie accent!
Fortunately a few nights in Texas isn't that potent an elixir! ("yankee" btw 🙂)
