Band
Founded in 2018 by the renowned jazz vocalist Ariana Harbin, Sweet Something Jazz exudes sophistication and versatility.
Their signature sound is a harmonic blend of retro allure and contemporary sophistication—where the classics of Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, and Nat King Cole come alive. The band’s extraordinary musicianship allows you to time-travel, whether it’s the nostalgic vibes of a speakeasy or the refined ambience of a luxury gala.
Over the years, Sweet Something has graced the stages of some of the most prestigious venues in the D.C., Maryland, and Virginia (DMV) region, including The Army Navy Club, The DC Botanic Gardens, The Smithsonian American Art Museum, and The Gaylord Hotel, among others. Their versatile talents have been sought-after for a wide array of events, such as weddings, corporate gatherings, charity galas, and retirement parties.
Raffles & Casino Games
Use your ‘funny money’ to beat the dealer at blackjack, roulette or craps! Additional ‘funny money’ available for purchase, as well as other games of chance.
