In the spirit of bounteous munificence, Madame Pamita presents the most tantilizing, most mesmerizing, most edifying experience of augury and prognostication the world has ever known. This mystic seer and musical prodigy does nothing less than spiritually transform those who witness her act. The powers of the vibration of unselfconscious music coupled with the mystical science of fortune telling allow her to access the depths of the human soul and once there to tranfigure it with the power of divine light.
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 songs written both by herself and by those who have moved on to the great beyond - 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 (Imperial Banjeaurine, Banjolele, Ukelin, Marxophone, Polka-Lay-Lee, and Tiple; as well as a 115 year-old banjo and early 20th century ukuleles).
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!
No hoaxes, hoodwinking, flimflammery or swindling of any kind. Madame Pamita is a true Seer of the Highest Order, having studied under the tutelege of the Greatest Masters of the Craft of Divination. Her display of other-worldly knowledge turns skeptics into zealous believers.
Before embarking on her mystical quest, Madame Pamita was a featured performer on the Dime Museum Circuit with The Neptunas, Cheap Chick, Dime Box Band, The Birdinumnums and as the Impresaria of The Grand Ole Echo.
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!
