Ashley Anne & The Carnations

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.
