Music

 

Possum's Store offers intimate concerts featuring outstanding musicians in our acoustically rich historic space.  Many of our musicians are world-class artists who perform with internationally known artists, but who love to bring their talent to our beautiful Blue Ridge valley to savor a more personal musical experience.

See schedule below to join us for these wonderful community events! 

"We love performing at the Possum's Store. Renee Balfour has created a unique and exceptional environment for both the musicians and listeners. The space is intimate, casual, and perfect for performing at the highest level. People come to listen, enjoy the beautiful atmosphere and the musicians come to express their best work. This transformed rural country store has become a destination for all who value creative expression. Thank you Renee!" - Robert Jospé
