SUMMARY:Portraits in Song: Sabelle\, featuring Jewel Arianna
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThe 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. \nThe performance will be held Friday\, March 27th\, at 7:00pm\, doors open at 6:30. Tickets are $25 (wine and light fare provided)\, available on Eventbrite.com. \nAbout the Artists \nThe 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. \nSabelle 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. \n

SUMMARY:Portraits in Song: Peter Barnes Martin with special guest Rags Rosenberg
DESCRIPTION:The music of Peter Barnes Martin is born from a love of Indie-Folk\, Jazz & Bluegrass. His act is characterized by its down-to-earth sense of storytelling and vocals\, paired with high energy instrumentals and creative improvisation. The evening will open with poet/songwriter-storyteller Rags Rosenberg. \nThe performance will be held Saturday\, April 18th\, at 3:00pm. Doors open at 2:30. Tickets are $25\, and can be purchased at Eventbrite.com. (Wine and light fare included in ticket price.) \nAbout the Musicians: \nPeter Barnes Martin is a full-time musician from Rochester\, New York\, based out of Monterey\, California. His composition and performance is influenced by indie folk\, americana and jazz and can be compared to artists such as Nick Drake\, Iron and Wine\, John Mayer and Chet Baker. In addition to his work on the Central Coast\, he has toured throughout Michigan and the Carolinas and was a professional jazz musician in New York City from 2019-2020. \nIn March 2023\, Peter self-released his debut album\, “Anywhere is Home\,” followed by a 10-date tour spanning from San Diego\, California to Seattle\, Washington. In September 2024\, Peter started working on his second project\, “The Lake\,” with a full release expected Fall 2026. Additionally\, he continues to perform frequently\, building a presence and following throughout the Central Coast. He looks forward to working with new festivals and venues interested in emerging artists.\n________ \n\nRags Rosenberg has been playing guitar since he was nine years old and writing songs since Bob Dylan proved that songs could change the world. He spent 14 years in Nashville honing his craft\, but having grown up listening to the likes of Leonard Cohen\, Tom Waits and Kris Kristofferson\, he wasn’t a good fit for country music. In 2008 he moved to a small cabin in Joshua Tree and returned to the poetic style of songwriting he loved. With a weathered voice and a watchful eye\, he channels the witness\, the poet\, and the man with a go-bag by the door. His new album\, Song of the Bricoleur  debuted at #6 on the Folk Music charts in September and his song “John Doe” was a finalist in the 2026 International Acoustic Music Awards.
