“Versatile, and silky-smooth” they say of frontwoman, Ariana, of Washington, DC. Music has always been the love of her life, along with all things retro. Ariana found her roots in gospel and spiritual music, and performed with various choirs in the DC area before fronting the short-lived, but locally popular blues and swing band, The Gin Rickys. Her muses are the vocal queens of yesteryear—Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Peggy Lee, Julie London, Etta Jones. Expect to be soothed and captivated by her performances.
