AUG 29 – Ariella & Nicolaas
Friday, August 29 at 7:00 pm (doors open 6:30)
From the Blue Note in NYC to the Voodoo Rooms in Edinburgh, award-winning singer-songwriter Ariella McManus and passionate guitar virtuoso Nicolaas Kraster comprise the soulful duo known as ARIELLA.
Ariella and Nicolaas’s passion for music flows as deeply as their love for each other. When they perform together, it’s not just a musical experience—it’s an intimate journey, a conversation through sound that feels both personal and universal.
Drawing vocal inspiration from icons like Etta James and Amy Winehouse and stylistic influences including Al di Meola, Paco de Lucía, and Roy Buchanan, ARIELLA captivates audiences with their rich, romantic sound.
From soulful ballads to fiery flamenco to bluesy melodies to electrifying rock, ARIELLA traverses a multitude of genres and resonates with audiences worldwide.
