Christie Kerner: emcee + band manager

Overview

Scarlet Harmony is a professional vintage pop band bringing the irresistible joy of the 1950s/60s to life. With lush harmonies, playful charm, and a polished retro look, we create feel-good moments that transport your guests straight back to the doo-wop and Motown era.

Perfect for corporate events, galas, private celebrations, festivals, and retirement communities in the Phoenix area, our shows range from 90 minutes to 4 hours. Duo and trio options are also available for cocktail hours or more intimate gatherings.

If those timeless tunes make your heart happy the way they do ours, we’d love to help you create an event your guests will be smiling about long after the last song fades out.

What to expect

Designing shows with a focus on making sure the *audience* is having a great time is at the heart of our approach. That means we'll always offer the perfect blend of disappearing into the background for moments like dinner and a balanced combination of vibrant dance songs + romantic slow songs to keep your dance floor busy. It also means we'll be playful emcees between songs, helping your audience laugh and being sure to create a memorable special moment for any anniversary, birthday, or other featured guest. Prefer a sit down show where your audience can just relax and enjoy (and occasionally sing along!?!) - no problem, we do that too. We are here to ensure your event is unforgettable. ✨

We are a 6-7 piece band with two primary vocalists, some backup harmony singers, and a handful of professional musicians. Our players have toured professionally, so you can rest assured you'll get both quality and talent from our entire crew. And, we'll all always be dressed dapper + darling, because we love to create a vibe! 💃

For smaller events or pre-event cocktail hours we have 1-3 person ensembles that provide lovely ambiance (acapella, tracks, or with one instrument). But our featured shows with the full band start at 75 min and extend up to 4 hours, with 3 hours being typical. Small group ensembles start at $1500, full band shows start at $2900. Special edition Christmas and 4th of July shows available, too. 🎶

Be sure to ask about our seasonal specials for retirees! 🫶

We can provide a PA (sound system) and, for larger events, our own audio engineer. We also have experienced dancers (fun line dance lesson, anyone? quick tips on how to slow dance like a pro? or just a mesmerizing performance to watch?), a karaoke DJ, and overall event emcees, as additional options. Request a quote and we'll send you our full fee schedule so you can design the perfect combination of memorable experiences for your event.

About

Hi! I'm Christie Kerner, the band manager for Scarlet Harmony. 👋 It's fair to say that I'm more than a little obsessed with the sounds and songs of the golden oldies doo-wop era. 🎙️ There's just something about that sweet, uplifting, vibe that never gets old. 💕

Although I started performing as a singer, pianist, and musical theater actor at an early age, I'm also a business executive and seasoned emcee by day. So, I bring a strong business mind to ensure your event experience with us is seamless.

Designing shows with a focus on making sure the *audience* is having a great time is at the heart of my approach.
