Ron Short & the Possum Playboys
Home »

“Funky chicken plucking, pig rutting, mud-rolling dance music—with accordion!!”
“The Possum Playboys” celebrate all the vibrant American roots music forms that have created a landscape of American culture unlike any other place on the planet! “The Playboys” are keeping alive and vibrant the tradition of bands that once traveled the roads of Appalachia and America, playing music that pleases and satisfies the eternal human longing for dance and fun.
Featuring fiddle and “Cajun” accordion, “The Playboys” play a lively mix of Appalachian jam band music from swamp to swing; be-bop to boogie; reels to rock; and blues to blow-out! The Possum Playboys play music that sets feet tapping, hips swinging, and people singing! While the musical traditions may be familiar, the songs and interpretations are fresh and new. And at least half their sets feature new music from songwriter and band leader, Ron Short.
