The Honeysuckle Possums are an all-woman band, playing high-energy, old-timey mountain-bluegrass and originals. The three lead singers, Nicola Gordon (fiddle and ukulele); Susan Marie Reeves (guitar, strumstick, and ukulele); and Rebecca Troon (banjo, fiddle, bodhran, and tin whistle) are all accomplished songwriters. Lisa Macker plays stand up bass and mandolin and joins in on vocals and harmonies, while Ruth Alpert is the band's dancing percussionist...an Appalachian-style flat-footer, who seems to float as she makes it easy for the crowd to dance and clap along. They 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 Old Time Fiddlers Convention and the Parkfield Bluegrass Festival to rave reviews. Their intention is "to create and share bliss through music". Their collective joy onstage is delightful, and performances are carried on a strong current of love and friendship. "Possum" audience members often comment on how that energy is irresistible!
