About Me |
|
| I am a wanderer and an expatriate I am a soldier for the war within. I march with the sound wind and water. If I could become a dolphin instead of a songwriter, I would. I love red rock and the great wide open. I miss Arizona with all my heart, but I will never return. I think that caring too much about anything is a crime. I am a criminal. I fall in love every time I look in his eyes. I have a kitty who is a little devil. and this is why I adore him, and give him treats. I love Tom Robbins for the same reason. Beat poetry and silence turn me on. Alfalfa sprouts, ginger and conversation without humor turn me off. I can't help myself, I make music~ but I assure you, it is entirely by accident. I always thought I would join the circus, or make pottery.Born not too far from the Grand Canyon in Northern Arizona, Cera Impala grew up thinking the world was wide-open spaces, and that if you yelled loud enough, the world would echo back to you a much more beautiful song than the one you put in it.This turned out to be true.A composer and inspired performer Cera Impala is comfortable in the limelight. Trained in the performing arts at Sarah Lawrence College and ethnomusicology at the Evergreen State College Cera is a vocalist, guitarist, banjoist and a-tune to the wanderings of a Japanese Shakuhachi. A prolific songwriter, Cera is recording her second solo album. A former member of the popular Northwest band The Blackberry Bushes and a current member of the The New Prohibition Band she enjoys frailing, flat-picking, finger-picking, fingerlicking, singing harmony and belting it out solo. These projects, similarly bound by their Americana/roots/old-time, have been a platform to showcase her very inspired work. While she has an adept ear for harmony she simultaneously creates complex hooking melodies haunting listeners with her compositions. She currently resides in Berlin, Germany.
