The Band
The Golden Age, Alive and Swinging
Ashley Anne & The Carnations are a Southern California vintage jazz ensemble devoted to one beautiful idea: that the elegance of Old Hollywood never went out of style — it was just waiting for the right band.
Ashley Anne
A Voice From Another Era
Ashley Anne’s love for the Great American Songbook began early and became the foundation of her work as a vintage jazz vocalist. On stage, that devotion shows: the victory rolls and satin gowns, the warmth between songs, and a voice that channels the golden era without ever feeling like a costume.
The Carnations — the polished ensemble of pianists, horn players, bassists, and drummers who share the stage — match that spirit with era-true arrangements and black-tie professionalism. Together they've brought vintage jazz to weddings, galas, corporate events, and private celebrations across Southern California.
Every event gets the same care: thoughtful curation, seamless coordination with planners and venues, and a performance that leaves the room a little more glamorous than they found it.
The Rooms We've Played
Distinguished Stages
Past venue credits include Disney's Club 33, The Hollywood Roosevelt, Vibrato Grill Jazz, The Cicada Club, Spago Beverly Hills, Disneyland, and Carnegie Hall — with regular appearances aboard The Queen Mary in Long Beach.
From landmark ballrooms to intimate lounges, the band brings the same polish to every room — and a particular fondness for the Art Deco spaces where this music was born.
