SWEET SOMETHING

THE BAND
Retro, smooth, and timeless. Sweet Something was created by vocalist and front-woman, Ariana Harbin, with the intention of bringing her favorite jazz tunes of yesteryear back to life. Expect to hear the great music of Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Sinatra, Nat King Cole and more during the band’s performance. The group has provided entertainment for various events in the DMV area, including weddings, corporate events and cocktail hours, charity galas, retirement parties, and more, and has performed at venues like The Army Navy Club, The DC Botanic Gardens, The Smithsonian American Art Museum, The Watergate Hotel, and many more. Sweet Something can perform with either a duo (vocals and keys), trio (vocals, keys, and bass) or quartet (vocals, keys, bass, and drums) depending on the event.

So whether you’re hosting a speakeasy event, or just have a group of old-timey music-lovers, Sweet Something would be happy to make your event even more special!

ARIANA
“Versatile, and silky-smooth.” “Reminiscent of a young Etta James.” “An amazing voice and presence.” These are just a few observations of the frontwoman, Ariana, of Alexandria, Virginia. 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, Bessie Smith, yet she also draws inspiration from kings of soul – Ray Charles, Sam Cooke. Audiences can expect to be soothed and captivated by her performances.
