By Ann Dwyer

If you're looking for a dynamic band that brings the likes of European cabaret, vintage Americana and accordion to the stage, then look no further than Vagabond Opera. The Portland, Ore.-based band is making a stop at The Ark on Thursday.

Consisting of four vocalists—including trained operatic tenor and soprano vocals—accordion, tenor saxophone, clarinet, two cellos, stand-up bass and drums, Vagabond Opera brings a lusty, old-world flair to the stage.

The group "delivers passionate offerings of Bohemian cabaret for young and old. Paris hot jazz, gutbucket swing, tangos, Ukrainian folk-punk ballads, klezmer, and vigorous originals," according to the press release.
