Album on Spotify HERE

​E.V.A.S began as a pandemic band of 5 out-of-work individuals and a city that went to sleep -- they woke it up out of a coma and the governor was made to come down. Now you can find them all over NYC bringing their brand of hot jazz and dirty swing to your neighborhood. East Village All-stars -- don't let no one put you down, you're an All Star!

​Hailing from CT's premier swingin' blues band The Red Hots, Petra has landed in NYC and is currently performing with several musical projects and collabs playing everything from the 1920s to today. With her ukulele and an eclectic blend of obscure covers and feisty originals, Petra is bringing life back to old forgotten melodies with a new twist - combining music with dance and community !
