"..You soon realize that she is a sophisticated songwriter, bandleader, and entertainer who has assembled a stellar group of musicians. The upbeat, complex and addictive music they produce, combined with Eva’s sparkling eyes, sweet smile, and an endless supply of funny and sometimes self-deprecating stories kept the audience singing, clapping, and laughing from first note to last.

Pulling from ragtime and old world folk music, California troupe Eva and the Vagabond Tales unspool their journey with colorful, delicate threads... sings Eva Mikhailovna, whose sadness sculpts a rather cinematic sea adventure. Banjo twirls as if on a seaside carousel, awaiting a new beginning that just crests the horizon, and as the light bounces from the bow, the pain is washed way in foamy stripes.

"A feel of old Europe... music that you would find outside of a small, sidewalk cafe."

 "The sound and vibe that EVT create is so inviting. Their sad, melancholy music reminds me of a time that only exists in my imagination. That’s the beauty I’ve found in their style: it makes me paint not only a picture in my head, but a TIME in my head. I can’t think of many other artists that do that for me."

- Thomas Lee, The Frontloader Sessions, 2014

"The beautiful, sweet sounds of European folk music."

-Johny Ray Price, Echo and Buzz, 2015
