Honeysuckle Possums

The Honeysuckle Possums: “High-Energy, Good-Times Music!” The Honeysuckle Possums are a five-woman string band, playing old-time, original, and bluegrass-style mountain music. The lead singers, Susan Marie Reeves (guitar, strum-stick, ukulele), Lisa Macker (stand up bass and mandolin), and Charletta Erb (fiddle) are all accomplished songwriters. 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.

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 and the Parkfield Bluegrass Festival to rave reviews. The group’s intention is “to create and share bliss through music”. Their collective joy onstage is delightful, and their performances are carried on a strong current of love and friendship. “Possum” audience members often comment on how that energy is irresistible!
