About

The Pepper Moons began heating up the Southern California vintage music scene in 2022. Focusing on the elegant, pre-bop styles from the glamorous days of the Swing Era, the group is fronted by acclaimed singer/songwriter Eva Mikhailovna (Postmodern Jukebox, Eva & the Vagabond Tales), backed by a top-shelf quintet consisting of Mark San Filippo on drums (Tom Kenny & the High Seas, Andy Paley) and more of LA’s finest jazz musicians. They have quickly become a favorite among the swing dance and vintage community, filling historic jazz venues such as the Cicada Club in Downtown LA.
