The Story
The Gingersnap Band is an NYC jazzy band founded by husband and wife singer/violinist Arjana Vizulis Danylets and pianist Ivan Danylets. The concept: blend anything and everything in the name of musical freshness, soulfulness, fun, the message of a song and the spirit it evokes. They started as an acoustic duo based in New York City known for their unique takes and creative arrangements of tunes new and old, blending the sincerity of a good melody with a creative reinterpretation of a song. Their influence comes from their unique mix of backgrounds: Arjana as a musical theater and jazz singer and violinist from NYC, and Ivan, a Jazz pianist from Ukraine with years in pop and rock bands. Nothing is off limits for this group, from intimate solo and duo gigs to a full ensemble of voice, piano, violin, bass, drum, horn and even a tap dancer!
Arjana and Ivan met in a rock band on cruise ships back in 2014 and have been collaborating and evolving their sound ever since. Since forming their duo in 2017 and then The Gingersnap Band in 2019, they've grown to include special collaborations, radio appearances, jazz club performances in their home city of NYC and internationally such as Bangkok, Melbourne, Kyoto, residencies including the Ritz Carlton in Osaka Japan, and the inaugural ceremony of the new ship "Carnival Horizon." Their debut album "Us Now" was released in 2017, and their second album, "Caribbean Manhattan" out February 2020.
