The Possum Playboys are keeping alive and vibrant the
tradition of bands that once traveled the back-roads of Appalachia and America,
playing music that pleased and satisfied the eternal human longing for dance and
fun.
Featuring fiddle and “Cajun” accordion, the Playboys play a
lively mix of “jam band” music from “swamp to swing”, “early rock to be-bop”----
that sets feet tapping, hips swinging, and people singing! While the musical
traditions may be familiar, the songs and interpretations are fresh and new!!
The Playboys are 30-year veteran singer/songwriter Ron Short on
vocals, accordion, slide guitar, banjo, mandolin and fiddle; Aaron Davis on
guitar and vocals; Lisa “Pisa” Davis ( the “Blossum” of the group”) on rubboard,
vocals and percussion; Ben Mays on bass.
For an evening of “Possum Wisdom”, dancing, original music and
just plain fun, you’re gonna love The Possum Playboys!
