Ariel Marin Band/Sade of The Bay

The Ariel Marin Band is an award-winning, high-energy, multi-genre dance band with over 30 years of combined professional experience. The group is led by multi-platinum producer James “Jae-E” Earley (MC Hammer, E-40, Confunkshun, H.E.R.) and four-octave powerhouse vocalist and ethereal recording artist Ariel Marin, often hailed as the “Sade of the Bay.”
Their all-star lineup also features Juan Escovedo and Eddie M (Prince, Sheila E.), as well as members of Maze and Confunkshun.
They are widely celebrated for their Ultimate SADE Tribute Concert, FUNKIN FANTASTIC DANCE PARTY, DISCO DIVAS SHOW, and their Sha’Motown Epic Motown Tribute Show, which have sold out numerous times at iconic venues including Blue Note Napa, Meritage, Caymus, and Yoshi’s, The Historic Bal Theater, and many more!
