Ariana, available as Soloist or w/ Band

Ariana Kertsman, the frontwoman for VUP, is in a word, sensational! Ariana’s extraordinary musicianship, harmonic depth, and lyrical interpretations are what sets her apart. Her voice is warm, infectious, and powerful! Her personal connection with the audience is genuine and invitational. Her musical approach is imaginative and intuitive, and her ability to put it all together into a fun and exciting collaborative process with her band and the audience is a joy to experience.

Ariana really knows how to bring the PARTY!

Ariana Kertsman has been instrumental in making VUP the most sought-after student band on the University of Michigan’s Campus. Whether playing to SRO crowds at the Blind Pig, commanding outdoor stage shows, appearing at private parties, or putting on impromptu porch performances, Ariana (and the amazingly talented musicians who love to play with her) always put on a spectacular SHOW! If you’re looking for a singer who knows how to shake the stage and bring the crowd to their feet then this is the performer for you! And the personal connection that the audience will feel long after the show is over, is really what makes Ariana's performances so very, very uplifting and special.
