About Me


  • We're excited to announce a gig coming up in Charlottesville on Thursday, April 26th. We're opening up for a killer rock band, Rose Hill Drive . Come to the Satellite Ballroom in Charlottesville & support a night of kick ass rock n roll. RHD has opened up for Van Halen & The Who and are truly a great young band on the rise. Only $8.00 in advance for 3 bands (Sun Dried, then Earl Greyhound, then Rose Hill Drive). Buy your tickets here.
    Sun Dried Opossum
    SDO has been together since the summer of 1997. Three blue collar guys working all day & rockin' out every chance they get. What's more rock and roll than that?
    A 5-piece for most of that 9 year span - the group officially became a power trio in the Summer of 2006. The change has brought a new level of energy & tightness to the band. Think Cream, early Gov't Mule, and Rose Hill Drive. If Rock and roll is your thing, then look no further.
    The third album, Back Up , was released on April 1st, 2005. Producer Andrew Alekel helped give this record the sound the band always wanted in the studio.
    If you dig our tunes please let us know and help spread the word.

    Manifesti and such
