On Wednesday, Aug. 12, Playin’ Possum will perform for guests from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Bike Night, located on Front Street along Draper Park and at Owego’s Parkview Hotel and Restaurant.

Playin’ Possum, with members that include Keith Nichols and others, perform a variety of rock covers, and always entertain.

According to the band, “The possum travels alone, ghost-like along the gray city streets and the verdant county lanes, shunning bright lights and harsh noises, remaining in the shadows – seeking treasure in what others revile and spurn. We are the possum.”
