Portraits in Song is a new intimate concert series highlighting the craft and storytelling of exceptional emerging artists. Each limited-capacity evening invites audiences to experience songwriting up close — sharing not only original music, but the stories and creative journeys behind it.
The inaugural concert features Carmel native Jewel Arianna, whose original world music explores connections between human behavior, philosophy, and science. Headlining the evening is Sabelle, a beloved Carmel artist blending folk, Americana, and soft pop with a poet’s voice and modern sensibility..
The performance will be held Friday, March 27th, at 7:00pm. Doors open at 6:30. Tickets are $25, available on Eventbrite.com.
About the Artists
The daughter of a Jazz singer and a Salsa dancer, Jewel Arianna is a singer/songwriter whose stylistic influences range from Jazz to Latin to Indian classical music, which entranced her with its intricate melodic nuances and poetic themes. An academic background in astrophysics and non-dual Hindu philosophy strongly influence her lyrics, and many of her original songs seek to convey scientific concepts through the metaphors of human emotional experience. Her overarching artistic ethos is to explore the liminal space where science, philosophy, and embodied experience intertwine through the medium of music.
Sabelle is a Canadian/American Singer-songwriter based in Monterey, California, known for her soft, resonant sound and poetic lyricism. Drawing inspiration from John Mayer and Kacey Musgraves, and the folk stylings of the ‘60s and ‘70s, her music blends timeless storytelling with a fresh emotional depth. Her original songs are a perfect mix of eclectic soft-pop and country-folk, to bring forth a new, exciting sound to the world of music. Sabelle has been performing all around the Central Coast for the past few years, while growing an active YouTube audience with almost 1,500 subscribers, where she posts weekly original compositions and covers. She released three new songs in 2025 and released her newest song, “Sold on Your Love,” alongside a music video debut this February 2026.
