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 twin fiddles and accordion, the Playboys play a lively mix of old-time/country/western swing/rock-a-hillbilly music with a bayou flair that sets the feet tapping, the hips swinging, and people singing! While the musical traditions may be old, the songs and interpretations are fresh and new!!
The Playboys are veteran singer songwriter Ron Short on vocals, accordion and fiddle; Chris Saenz on vocals, fiddle, banjo; Rick Saenz on bass and vocals; Roy Tackett on guitar and vocals.
