Serving Los Angeles
A Vintage Jazz Band Made for Los Angeles
Old Hollywood isn't a theme in Los Angeles — it's the city's own history. Ashley Anne & The Carnations grew up on LA's stages, with past performances at rooms like The Cicada Club in the landmark Oviatt Building, Vibrato Grill Jazz in Bel Air, and Spago Beverly Hills. When the band plays a Los Angeles event, the music is coming home.
From Downtown's Art Deco theaters and Broadway ballrooms to hillside estates, museum courtyards, and studio lots, we bring polished vintage jazz, swing, and Rat Pack sets that match the glamour LA venues were built for — with the professional coordination planners in this city expect.

Local Knowledge
Playing Los Angeles's Rooms
Los Angeles rewards a band that understands its rooms. Art Deco landmarks ask for hot jazz and torch songs; mid-century supper clubs call for Rat Pack cool; garden estates in Hancock Park or the Palisades want elegant, conversation-friendly standards under string lights. We tailor ensemble size, set lists, and wardrobe to the space.
We carry professional PA scaled from intimate lounges to grand ballrooms, coordinate directly with venue and banquet teams, and keep volume guest-friendly — the details LA venue managers notice.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of events do you perform for?
Weddings, corporate events, galas and fundraisers, holiday parties, private celebrations, brand activations, and vintage-themed events across Southern California — from elegant cocktail hours to full featured performances. Tell us about your event and we'll recommend the right fit.
Do you perform for corporate events?
Absolutely. We regularly perform for holiday parties, client appreciation events, award dinners, and gala receptions. Corporate planners appreciate our clear communication, punctual setup, and polished presentation.
Can you provide different ensemble sizes?
Yes. From an intimate trio for cocktail hours and dinners to the full Carnations ensemble with horns for a featured performance, we'll recommend the configuration that suits your space, guest count, and atmosphere.
Do you bring your own sound equipment?
Yes — we bring a professional PA and microphones scaled to your venue, and we keep volume guest-friendly so conversation is always comfortable. If your venue has house sound, we're happy to coordinate with their team.
Can you play during cocktail hour or dinner?
That's one of the things we do best. Elegant background sets — think bossa nova, French café, and Old Hollywood standards — keep the room warm and conversational, then we can raise the energy when it's time to dance.
Can guests dance to the music?
Please do! Our swing, Rat Pack, and 1950s sets are built for dancing, and we read the room to keep the floor moving all night.
