Description: old time classic 'shady grove' off the first album of the New Prohibition "Busted"

Home

The struggle to survive as an artist, a mother, a lover, -chasing the tail ever an ever elusive dragon that is inspiration and creation is real.  It is wonder-lust, it is pain, it is ecstasy.  "Blackberry, I got my self all bloody, reaching after you". I will do it again and again.

This is a fist recording of the duet 'Delightful Squalor' and a draft mix not yet finished or mastered.

Blackberry

The struggle to survive as an artist, mother, lover, chasing the tail of the ever elusive dragon that is inspiration, and creation -is real.  This is a song that speaks to the heart of that journey utilising five string banjo, guitar and voice.

This is an unmastered draft for the upcoming project "Delightful Squalor"

Her whiskey-honeyed voice and intimately crafted pieces take you to another time and place, of dreams and magic, sensual as they are savage. Her music has been heard all over the world, Impala has toured internationally with her handpicked band, The New Prohibition -and in 2018, Cera debuted a new duet project, Delightful Squalor. She has previously been a member of The Blackberry Bushes, Dark Green Tree and the fabulous queens of sass and harmony, The Bevvy Sisters. Cera is enjoying the success of her latest album Tumbleweed, a collection of songs that will simultaneously take you all the way around the world and back into the heart of the woods. THE NEW PROHIBITION: A slice of hillbilly noir and a measure of gritty 20's and 30's jazz, the New Prohibition have one foot in the past and the other in the future of folk, jazz and americana. "Dr." Dirk Ronneburg, her long-time musical partner, is a fiddle-blazer of the highest degree who also performs with gypsy jazzers Viper Swing, and in did a stint in the folk supergroup, Southern Tenant Folk Union. The synergy between them is palpable; their music is otherworldly.
