"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
