Rose Ensemble Audio Postcard No. 6

On the second to last night of the Songs of Temperance and Temptation tour, Jordan Sramek hands the microphone over to audience members from the Willmar performance to tell their Prohibition stories. From the young girl asked to sign the Temperance pledge, to a renowned bootlegger, and a young man seeking alcohol for medicinal purposes, it's clear that audience members had come to the show with diverse insights into the Prohibition struggle. Fun was had by all during Sunday's post-concert speakeasy reception.

A performance in Hutchinson Monday night, November 21, marks the finale of The Rose Ensemble's 2011 Greater Minnesota Tour.
