The Honeysuckle Possums

Saturday June 11th at 7PM, come see The Honeysuckle Possums In Concert.

They sold out the last time they played at the Live Oak Unitarian Universalist Church: 820 North Fairview Avenue, Goleta, CA 93117. Phone # 805-967-7867, so get your tickets early for some High-Energy, Good-Times Music!

The Honeysuckle Possums are a five-woman string band, playing old-time, original, and bluegrass-style mountain music. The three lead singers, Nicola Gordon (fiddle, ukulele); Susan Marie Reeves (guitar, strum-stick, ukulele); and Rebecca Troon (banjo, fiddle, bodhran, tin whistle) are all accomplished songwriters. Lisa Macker plays stand up bass and mandolin and joins in on harmonies, while Ruth Alpert is the bands dancing percussionistan Appalachian-style flat-footer, who seems to float as she makes it easy for the crowd to dance and clap along.

The Honeysuckle Possums have played all over California and continue to gain praise for their beautiful vocals, carefully crafted harmonies, and spirited style. They have performed at the Goleta Old Time Fiddlers Convention/Festival and the Parkfield Bluegrass Festival to rave reviews.

The groups intention is to create and share bliss through music. Possum audience members often comment that the group's joyful energy is positively contagious!
