Enter into the curious and sublime world of Madame Pamita's Parlor of
Wonders, an old-time medicine show filled with mysticism, music and melodrama: an entrancing array of spectacles both quaint and queer!
Madame Pamita uses the powers of euphonious prognostication to tell audience member fortunes and plays rural blues, old time, jug band and proto-jazz numbers about romance and revenge and mirth and mayhem on
an assortment of odd and bizarre vintage instruments.*
Often performing with her are primitive American musicians of the highest order and various and sundry delightfully antiquarian diversions.
Fans of Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music, Alan Lomax's field recordings or what Greil Marcus likes to call "The Old Weird America" will be transported to the birth of recorded music when an evening's entertainment meant surprises, amusements and a singular experience like no other! Step right up, ladies and gents, and be prepared to be dumbfounded and delighted
by Madame Pamita's prodigious powers of prognostication and melodic
merriment!
With proper monetary coaxing, Madame Pamita is available for private consultations or as part of a festive evening's entertainment.
