We are excited to welcome Ron Short and the Possum Playboys to the Jettie Baker Center on September 24 at 7 pm. Tickets are $10 and will be available at the door on the evening of the event.

"The Possum Playboys" celebrate all the vibrant American folk music forms that have created a landscape of musical culture in America, making this country unlike any other place on the planet.

"The Playboys" keep alive and vibrant the tradition of bands that once traveled the backroads of America, playing music that pleases and satisfies the eternal human longing for dance and community celebration.

Featuring fiddle and “Cajun-hillbilly” accordion, "The Playboys" play a lively mix of blues, swamp-rock , Appalachian jam band music—-everything from swamp to swing, rock to bop. 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 nearly every show features at least 50% new music written by Ron Short.
