Hey folks,

Things are moving full speed ahead here at Possum Central. March was crazy busy and April seems to be shaping up much the same. We’ve got a handful of stellar shows beginning with this weekend’s jaunt to Columbia. More on that later.

Possum Jenkins has been called a lot of things over the years (and not all them were good), but award-winning isn’t one of them. Well, that might all be about to change!! On April 1, Possum Jenkins was nominated in the Best Country Band, Group or Duo for the 2012 Independent Country Music Association Awards. To be honest, we’re not quite sure how this happened. Nevertheless, the response has already been amazing and inspiring. If you haven’t already, we’d love for you to cast your vote for us. Simply click HERE! And tomorrow…you know…if you’re not busy, maybe you could vote again. Just sayin’…

Shows…shows…shows!!!!

Los Possums hit the road again this weekend for a loooooooooooooooong awaited return to Columbia, SC, where we’ll team up with our buddies Josh Roberts & The Hinges. We’re opening for them at Five Points Pub and should hit the stage at 10 p.m. sharp. Next weekend we’ll be back in the Twin Cities, opening for Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit (ex-Drive-By-Truckers) at Ziggy’s on Friday, April 13, followed by a return to the one and only Sadlack’s Heroes in Raleigh on Saturday, April 14. See below for the full slate of upcoming Possum shows.
