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.

Possum Update 4/23/12
Howdy folks,
Just when we thought things couldn’t possibly get any more exciting here at Possum Central, we get another dose of thrilling news!! On Sunday, April 22, Possum’s own Dave Willis made an honest woman out of Allison Everhart by asking her to be his bride. Against her better judgement, she said YES!
Congratulations to Davo and Allison!!
Now, let’s get down to brass tacks. Possum Jenkins is in the midst of a heated race to see who will be crowned Best Band, Group or Duo in the Independent Country Music Association’s 2012 Fan Poll. After leading the balloting for several days, we’ve fallen behind by some 500 votes heading down the home stretch.
Folks, we need a win here. You can vote once a day every day from your computer, phone, or whatever web device you fancy. Please cast your votes daily and help spread the word and we just might pull this thing off. The voting ends one week from today, so don’t delay. Click HERE to vote now!!
Possum Jenkins is back in action this Saturday, April 28, when we team up once again with Knoxville, TN’s own Dirty Guv’nahs for a rowdy night of rawk ‘n country at The Garage in Winston-Salem. Show starts at 9:00 p.m. Possum will hit the stage at 10:30 p.m.
Give our calendar a look see for when we’ll be in your neck of the woods. New shows have been posted and there are more on the way, so check back often.
