Darla Records hasn't been this excited about a new release by a new Pop/Americana artist since My Morning Jacket's first record. Ariel performs her original songs live at venues across Austin, Texas - by herself and with music legend Alvin Crow. Her voice can be heard on soundtracks for films by Robert Rodriguez and Trevor Romain, and she is the youngest female singer to perform before thousands at the Austin Music Awards. Music critic Margaret Moser has compared her voice to that of Brenda Lee and Lou Ann Barton. Ariel has been called the authentic foil to Britney Spears, by National Geographic's Traveler Magazine. This young woman was born to sing.
