Nicknamed the Gypsy-jazz Warbler by the New York Times, Tatiana Eva-Marie is a transatlantic bandleader, singer, author, and actress. She plays music derived from the Django tradition with Gypsy and French jazz influences.
Accruing 100 million views on YouTube, Tatiana Eva-Marie was acclaimed as “a millennial shaking up the jazz scene” by magazine Vanity Fair. She performs regularly in New York at various clubs (Blue Note, Dizzy’s, Lincoln Center, Symphony Space, Birdland…), across the USA (New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Detroit Jazz Festival, Freight and Salvage, Winter JazzFest, Rochester Jazz Festival, Jazz Aspen Snowmass, Tucson Jazz Festival…) and around the world (recently Brazil, Argentina, Turkey, Germany, Austria, France, Switzerland, Italy, United Kingdom…).
Though her interests have led her to explore a wide range of musical styles, Tatiana Eva-Marie’s craft is always inspired by her own French and Balkan heritage; a love for the Parisian art scene era spanning the 1920s to the 60s; a passion for traditional Gypsy songs; a fascination for New Orleans music; and a deep connection to the Great American Songbook.

The period from the 1870s to the 1900s, known as the Gilded Age, saw the rise of the railroad, textile industry, and production. It also saw a rise in migration to US cities, providing workers to fill low paying jobs producing many of the fashions of the era. This era marked a turning point in fashion as new technologies and changing cultural norms transformed the ways in which people dressed.
