Eva Mikhailovna

Eva Mikhailovna is a singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist of Tatar and Armenian heritage, born in Russia and now based in California. She creates honest, sentimental music for old souls, drawing listeners in with her raw openness and heartfelt storytelling. Through her project Eva and the Vagabond Tales, she has released three full-length albums, an EP, and numerous singles that blend vintage charm with emotional depth. She is currently at work on her fourth album. Eva has toured extensively across North America, most notably with the supergroup Postmodern Jukebox, showcasing her versatility on vocals, guitar, ukulele, accordion, upright bass, and musical saw. A passionate explorer of nostalgic genres, Eva recently launched multiple new projects. She is the lead singer and songwriter of The Pepper Moons, a high-energy swing band based in Southern California, and also performs in The Prairie Moons, a Western Swing counterpart to the former. When she’s not fronting these groups, she can often be found performing in the whimsical world of Disneyland Resort—playing with her duo and other ensembles across its many stages. “It’s hard to say who or what she sounds like, which is extremely refreshing and gives hope that in an age where we think we have heard it all, maybe we haven’t... Eva has found a way to break barriers as a rising artist and got the attention and support of NPR—cementing her as an artist with something real to give to our ears.” — Buzz Music, 2019
