Experience
Cross-Eyed Possum won 1st place in the 2022 Pickin’ In The Pines Band Contest.
The group performs mostly original music that was inspired by a mix of the wide genres of music the twins grew up with (Americana, Rock n Roll, Bluegrass, Folk), their Jazz and Classical university experiences, and their stories of life on the road.
Cross-Eyed Possum performed at the Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival and several other festivals and esteemed listening rooms on a 42 day summer tour in 2024 that the band independently organized spanning the length of the United States and even heading into Canada. They have also performed in a number of other festivals and tours over the past 5 years. They were pleased to share the bills with Del McCoury Band, Molly Tuttle and Golden Highway, Greensky Bluegrass, and many more.
