Berlin is an unlikely place for American acoustic roots music, but that’s where The New Prohibition Band has called home since moving there from the USA in July of 2007. Some followed love, some followed music, and at least one didn’t see eye to eye with the local sheriff back home. Steeped in the acoustic roots music and bewitching mountain harmonies of the American backwoods, The New Prohibition Band tip their hats to tradition while forging their own songs with a fresh and personal perspective. Their set mixes old ballads of love, murder, lawlessness, and betrayal with original, intimate songs about whiskey, troubles, sisterhood, and of course the New Prohibition. WARNING: they have also been known launch into barn-burning dance tunes without provocation.
