BIOS:
Madame Pamita and her Parlour of Wonders:
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).

Tippy Canoe:
Oakland, California's songbird and uke-slinger, Tippy Canoe is on a mission to bring sincere uplift in a severely down-slanted era. Her voice is a mixture of the 60's girl group sound and classic country with its own quirky nature shining through. Her song writing bears the stamp of a person who has absorbed a variety of influences. These range from 20's and 30's acts like The Boswell Sisters & Jack Teagarden to 50's and 60's performers like Brenda Lee & The Chiffons and catchy post-punk bands such as Squeeze & Blondie. You can call it old-timey, you can call it retro, you can even make up a word and call it 20sjazzcountrydoowoppop, but whatever the moniker just let yourself go and enjoy it.

Hobo Jazz:
Some might call them a skiffle band, some might say blues, hillbilly, folk, or even jazz. Just say Hobo Jazz & dispense with all the fancy words. They play the music of the contemporary 1930's hobo country bluesman. This is part rail ridin' music, part field holler sonnet. Part rock-a-billy cadillac, part 1932 Ford Wagon. One part dirty hobo, one part hot jazz, all parts kick up your heels and live alittle!

Sausage Grinder:
Sausage Grinder is your go-to crew for stomp, strut, rag, breakdown, and fat ass hillbilly jass. Sounds so sweet like candied meat -always in all-natural casings with no electrical instrumentation. Take your pick, jelly roll or fine ground pork filling. This six-player string band will sex you up and throw you down, but only after the ribs and fries is gone. David Bragger on fiddle and mandolin, Christopher Berry on guitar, Bobby Reed on banjo, Margie Royall on washboard and banjo-uke, and the Orkin Brothers, Matthew and “Big Boy Baby”, on mandolin and jug. Sausage Grinder pushes out some of the best ol’ stuff from Durham to Clarksdale to Echo Park. Where else will you see that stuff in Los Angeles? More raw, more flavor. This band is so big they must sit down on a chair. They make tears of ground beef come out of your radio and home computer system, just like science fiction. Sausage Grinder is a ton ‘o’ fun. So come to the show!
