The Memphis sound continues its evolution through the music of five young men collectively known as Mojo Possum. Although natives of Memphis, they formed in early 2008 in the college town of Knoxville, TN. The band played college parties and venues in Knoxville for six months before moving back to Memphis, where they started playing in Mississippi juke joints with Duwayne Burnside and David Kimbrough Jr. (sons of blues legends R.L. Burnside and Junior Kimbrough). Down in the jukes, they got the training of a lifetime. After learning how to work the tough crowds in Mississippi, and combining that with their college scene experience, Mojo Possum hit hard in the Memphis music world. Their sound (based in Memphis rock and soul, Mississippi blues, and an injection of New Orleans funk) progressively evolves through psychedelic rock, folk rock, electronic, hip hop and jazz. If one catches a live show, they can see the magic happen right when the band gets on stage. Mojo Possum caters to a wide variety of crowds from the blues hounds to the jam band following, from the hip hoppers to indie rockers. In the short span of a year Mojo Possum has played the major clubs in Memphis, college towns throughout the Southeast, and blues festivals in Mississippi. They have shared the stage with Colonel Bruce Hampton, Porter Batiste and Stoltz (members of the Funky Meters), The North Mississippi Allstars, Kenny Brown, Hillcountry Revue, Jimbo Mathus, and a string of Memphis local bands. The boys are also avid composers and are constantly trying to break new ground. In the future, Mojo Possum looks forward to traveling and recording more, constantly progressing, and carrying a pocket full of the Memphis sound wherever they go!
