Put A Spell On You
by Jack Silverman

If you think “ironic” and “uplifting” are contradictory traits that can’t coexist, maybe MAMA SPELL can change your mind. Part comedienne, part performance artist, the Pittsburgh resident (via south Mississippi) tells stories, provides social commentary and performs hilarious lounge versions of seemingly incongruous songs: her rendition of the Sex Pistols’ “Anarchy in the UK” accompanied by cheesy synth tracks is to die for. Mama Spell will perform a set Tuesday night, Aug. 1, as part of Comedy Night at The Bar Car in Cummins Station. Festivities begin at 8 p.m. and admission is free.
