MEET SCARLET HARMONY

OUR MISSION

Scarlet Harmony exists to create musical experiences that feel good, do good, and leave every room happier than we found it. 


We are on a mission to bring back the playful, romantic charm of the golden oldies classics, but reimagined with modern sound and lots of heart. 

​HOW TO GET INVOLVED

Scarlet Harmony is an ensemble with a few vocalists and a few players. Roles generally include:


  • Male Vocalist
  • Female Vocalist
  • Double Bassist
  • Keyboardist
  • Drummer


The most important thing (in addition to the basics like musical talent, positive mindset, and reliability) is that each person genuinely loves this style of music. If we are all having fun and really vibing, we'll put on a great show!


Generally, vocalists should have a clear, resonant tone and be comfortable harmonizing. This style of music often uses voice as an instrument, so while various singers will take lead on each song they will all stay very involved throughout. Acapella experience is a huge plus. A vocalist that can play an instrument is also a plus.


Musicians should be at a level where they can find their way through a nice arrangement for each song using a lead sheet and comfortable reliably working the full library of songs.


THE SOUND + SONGS

You know how Michael Buble brought modern richness to the timeless classics of Frank Sinatra? That is what we are doing for all kinds of fun songs from the doo-wop era (golden oldies/ standards/ late 50's/ early 60's). Here's a Spotify playlist with our core 2026 songs, but we are always expanding our repertoire!


WHERE + WHEN

Initial auditions are in the Tempe area and the dedicated practice space is in Phoenix. Our live practices are Monday nights, 6:30-9:00pm.

GOT QUESTIONS?

WHAT IS THE BAND COMMITMENT?

We are here to create *experiences* 

Excellence of sound is the baseline; we are really here to make sure people are having a really freaking good time! In order to ensure we can put on a good show we all have to be team members who reliably show up ready. We need each other! And, we need to be entertainers. It's less about the audience giving us attention, more about us helping them feel seen, feel good, and have plenty of reasons to smile.


It's a key part of our brand to show up as a full *vibe* so that means we always have a deliberate look. Gents wear black shoes, black or charcoal pants, a white button up, a vest or suspenders, and a black or red tie or bowtie. Ideally at least one element incorporating pinstripes. Hats optional but welcome! Ladies wear black and white and red. Usually a red satin dress with gold heels or a black and white dress with red heels, but we'll choose a few options that people feel good in, together.


Generally, we ask each performer to commit for a calendar year. That means weekly practices in person, occasional zoom sessions, plus additional live ones to support special opportunities. We aim for multiple local performances each month, but less in the summer months. We discuss renewals near the end of each year.


Lastly, this is intended to be a really positive experience for all of us, so the ideal band member is someone who values kindness, a can-do attitude, and is low-ego + high-eq. Life is too short and the more fun we have together the better experiences we can create for others! We have the opportunity to uplift others while expressing our hearts and talents, that's super cool! So let's help each other make it easy.

WHAT ARE THE PERFORMANCE OPPORTUNITIES?

A bit TBD still :)

We specialize in paid corporate events. These require an extreme amount of reliability and professionalism, and we bring that plus a lot of fun! The revenue generated is split amongst the band members. Some funds are reserved for things like marketing, equipment, etc, but participants always get an appropriate share.

IS THIS A RECORDING OR TOURING BAND?

The future is looking fun...

We aren't actively pursuing touring at this time, but on the occasion we have reason and availability to do a show that isn't in the Phoenix area, we will. Recording is not a priority in the near term but not off the table : )

COME SAY HI!

MEET THE FOUNDER

It's fair to say that Christie Kerner, Scarlet Harmony's Founder + Creative Director, is more than a little obsessed with the sounds and songs of the doo-wop era. There's just something about that sweet, uplifting, vibe that never gets old.


Christie started performing as a singer, pianist, and musical theater actor at an early age. She brings a strong business mind to creative arts, so being a part of her crew is an easy, fun, and uplifting way to share your talent.
