At 11:30am Calvin Arsenia and Cera Impala join us to talk about Cera’s upcoming show at Greenwood Social Hall. Cera Impala is prolific songwriter and powerhouse multi-instrumentalist. Cera has toured internationally with The New Prohibition. Cera released her 5th album, “Wildest Dreams’, on November 18, 2022. She is currently recording a double album, Demeter’s Daughter (Part I), followed by Persephone (part II). “For lovers of Norah Jones, Billie Holliday, and Lana Del Rey, Impala’s charm, wit, and prowess are undeniable. It takes a songwriter with deep and clear understanding of theory and multiple technical disciples to make music this complex and nuanced sound utterly effortless. Run, don’t walk to bless your ears and soul with this delicious nectar.” – Calvin Arsenia. Cera Impala plays Greenwood Social Hall, 1750 Belleview Ave, Kansas City, on Sunday, March 15 at 7:00PM.
