Two Entertainers In One!
Ariel

   Hi! Let me introduce myself, my name is Ariel.  This pic of me was taken before I really knew who Harpo Marx was.
   I was a singer many years before I began playing Harpo.  After many years, I'm singing again.  So you see, I'm a 2 in 1 entertainer. 
     First, I'll describe A Harpo, since this is really his site; then I'll describe myself.

A Harpo
A Harpo

  A Harpo is a comic entertainer and musician, has been performing since 2006, and had many return engagements.  Although many don't know who Harpo Marx was, they enjoy A Harpo.  People of all ages have been entertained by A Harpo.  As part of the act, Harpo doesn't talk- instead, he uses pantomimes, whistling, and a horn to help him act out his feelings.
  I'd love a partner for my act, other musicians to jam with, and do some comedy with.
  If you see me, just call me Harpo, but don't be surprised if I don't talk!  I'll talk when I really have to.  ("Honk, honk!")


Ariel playing harp

Ariel

   When I'm not Harpo, I'm Ariel, the singing harpist.  My song styles are soft rock and folk, though I also enjoy the Big Band and pop songs, many of which the Original Harpo knew and loved.  I'd gladly sing them, too, but I'm unable to play them on my harp, or my other instruments.
  For many years, I was a reluctant soloist, with a guitar.  I can play some keyboard, too, but prefer the harp.  I dream of singing with a band, and dream of sometimes having Harpo jam and goof around with them, too.
  I'm also a songwriter who enjoys arranging and collaborating, and if I had a band, or a singing partner, I'd often sing harmony.  Harmonizing has always been a passion of mine.
  

Ariel without glasses

  When I'm performing, I often don't wear my glasses.  It depends on the lighting and what I'm doing.  I know I look really cute without them, but sometimes, being able to see is more important than appearance.
  As Ariel, I will talk with people.
   I can be very talkative, and may play with Harpo's toys occasionally, too.  When I was a singer, I often walked around when I was done on stage, and greeted the people around me.  I can really make up for when I don't talk!

Can you believe these are all me?

Here's the really short descriptions of us.

Ariel & A Harpo together

Ariel:   Singer, harpist, soft rock, folk, & original songs

A Harpo: 
Interactive, Vaudeville-style act, harp solo, often just interacts

 If ya really wanna have some fun, compare my Harpo to the original, see if you can tell who's who.  Some people get it wrong!  Every time that happens, I'm still amazed!

I won't post Harpo's picture here, because I don't have permission to, though several websites have many of him and his brothers.  If I were able to post it legally, I would, but I'm sure the studios who own the rights to them will charge me more than I can afford, although they are far wealthier than I could ever hope to be.

When we talk to you, we'll need to know if the event is indoors or out, and how large or small it is, as well as any special requests, EX: theme- if it's a birthday party we'll play "Happy Birthday."  For children's parties, we'll play some kids' songs.  Harpo and I love playing games, we have some to share, and may give some away. 
  Harpo is not a clown, he's just an overgrown kid.
