Welcome to HADESTOWN, where a song can change your fate.

With a Comedy Central Half Hour special, over a million views on YouTube, and a new stand-up special on the Dry Bar app, The Chicago Reader wrote about Michael, “In a lot of ways, he represents the ideal antidote to the sort of unbridled cynicism that pervades much of contemporary stand-up.” Michael’s optimism continues in the new National Lampoon series The Bright Side, where he takes a positive stance on a negative topic streaming on YouTube.

Nicknamed “the Gypsy-jazz Warbler” by The New York Times and acclaimed as a “millennial shaking up the jazz scene” by Vanity Fair Magazine, Tatiana Eva-Marie is a transatlantic bandleader, singer, and actress based in Brooklyn.

Tatiana Eva-Marie’s singing is always inspired by her own French and Romani heritage: a love for the Parisian art scene era spanning the 1920s to the 60s, a passion for Gypsy music, and a deep connection to the Great American Songbook.

Through the lens of this musical kaleidoscope, she explores the music of Django Reinhardt, Sidney Bechet, Cole Porter, and other composers who were at the origins of French jazz, while adding her own original lyrics and arrangements to the mix.
