About / Biography

Oriana & The Charmers are a London-based function band who deliver a mix of classic American jazz, French, latin music and vintage pop. With their vintage classy look, they will transport you from a 20's American speakeasy or a Parisian Café one minute, to the streets of Napoli the next. Sultry female vocals which recall the sounds of Julie London, Edith Piaf and Eva Cassidy interspersed with Oriana's enchanting violin and the band's versatile style.
They're available as a duo, trio or full band for any service including hotels, restaurants, receptions and weddings.
They can also learn your special song for your special day!
