Description

Possum Jenkins performs live at Machiavelli's in historic downtown Bristol onMay 12 at 9pm. Since coming together during their final year at Boone, North Carolina’s Appalachian State University in 2004, rising Americana quartet Possum Jenkins has toiled and triumphed in bars, clubs and at festivals across their home state, as well as venturing into South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. A sonic Southern recipe of simple but effective melodies married to boundless, off-the-rails energy finds the tight-knit group zeroing in on a sound that seamlessly incorporates strains of the timeless mountain music of Appalachia, the compelling alt. country of East Nashville and Austin, a touch funky Memphis soul and a helping of unabashed Southern rock.
