Biography

Eva & the Vagabond Tales is a music group that combines Eastern European folk, vintage pop, and old western genres into a musical melting pot. It builds on the foundations of old time music and melancholy storytelling, bending the laws of traditional songwriting to become a sound all its own. The live shows feature a variety of unique instrumentation, humorous story telling, occasional tap dancing, and vintage atmosphere. One can find the “antique pop” group serenading crowds at their residency at Downtown Disney, where they can be caught playing their original songs as well as special takes on Disney classics. More recently, Mikhailovna toured across North America with supergroup Postmodern Jukebox, singing and playing guitar, ukulele, accordion and upright bass. Mikhailovna collaborated with producer Charles Newman (The Magnetic Fields, The Bones of J.R. Jones) on her last two full-length albums and is currently recording a fourth album in Los Angeles. The music has been featured in NPR Variety shows and commercials around the world. Her song, "Rose Colored Dreams" was featured in the title credits for comedian Erica Rhodes' comedy special "La Vie En Rhodes," filmed at the Rose Bowl. Currently, Eva is backed by Jasmine Capitulo on accordion and keys, Joe Di Fiore on woodwinds, Maxx Diaz on bass, and Mark San Filippo on drums. "Some of the songs feel like a personal experience, and some are like adventures from another time or another place."- David Fleming, NPR 2019
