Ron Short and 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 Appalachian/country/western swing/rock-a-hillbilly music with a “bayou flair” that sets feet tapping, hips swinging, and people singing! While the musical traditions may be old, the songs and interpretations are fresh and new!!

The Playboys are 30-year Roadside Theater veteran singer/songwriter Ron Short on vocals, accordion and fiddle; Roy Tackett on guitar and vocals; Aaron Davis on rubboard, vocals and percussion; Ben Mays on bass, and Molly Dale Slemp, “Girl Vocalist Extraordinaire”!! (sometime players: Jim Benelisha, cello, fiddle; Sonny Houston , fiddle, mandolin)
For an evening of “Possum Wisdom”, dancing, original music and just plain fun, you’re gonna love The Possum Playboys!

“Betcha won’t be able to stay off the table!”
