Hey folks,
The holidays are bearing down on us here at Possum Central. We’ve got two big shows on the horizon and the impending release of Carolinacana, not to mention the impending birth of Levi Andrew Turner. Needless to say, we are thrilled, excited, nervous…it’s a very emotional time.

Our very good friend Doug Williams at Electromagnetic Radiation Records is currently bound to his mixing board with a giant rubber band and will not be released until the new Possum record is mixed to perfection. When the soon-to-be sleep deprived Williams finishes tweaking our magnum opus, he’ll send it to Carrboro, where the tracks will be mastered at The Kitchen on Wednesday, November 30.

If we’re extremely luck, we’ll get the finished discs back just in time for our 12/30 show at The Garage. If we don’t, we’ll be very disappointed and a little embarrassed. (Crossing fingers and toes now…)

Speaking of shows, we’ve got a pair of hometown affairs coming up quick. After gorging yourself of Thanksgiving delights, join Possum at the new Ziggy’s for our annual post-Turkey Day show next Friday, November 25. Our friends Josh Roberts & The Hinges from Columbia, SC will open the show. Tickets are $7 in advance and $10 at the door. For more information, click here.

On the aforementioned Friday, December 30, Possum Jenkins will return to the friendly confines of The Garage to wrap up an awesome 2011. We’re thrilled to have the one and only Greg Humphreys (Hobex, Dillon Fence) opening the show with a set of his original tunes. If the stars align, this will be our CD release party. If not, well…stay tuned. This will be our last show for a little while, as we give the Turner Family some time to get acquainted before hitting the road again.

And we have to shamelessly mention that if you happen to be working on your Christmas shopping and looking for a new Possum shirt, kookie, CD or sticker for that big PJ fan in the family, please click over to our web store at www.possumjenkinsband.com.

That’s it. That’s all the big news for now. Please help us spread the word about our last two shows of the year. We can’t wait to see y’all at the bar.
