Growing up in the mountains of Colorado, the daughter of a Turkish bouzouki player father and ski bum mother, Ariel blossomed in the bluegrass scene she was surrounded by; always inspired by the mighty outdoors and power to be a wild woman. In 2019, Ariel released her first two singles Midnight Sun and Happy- both with their own unique style honoring all sides of her identity. Ariel later went on to release her debut album Wild Woman in 2022, an homage to her unique wild side, how she has navigated her early 20’s, relationships, and discovering her values as a woman. Ariel draws inspiration from a wide variety of artists; Brandi Carlisle, Norah Jones, and Colter Wall-to name a few. https://danaariel.bandzoogle.com Ely CartwrightFrom his midwestern roots to his home in the Southwest, Ely Cartwright explores the beauty and loss of everyday life in the pursuit of connection. Described as falling “somewhere between indie-folk and the singer-songwriter sounds of 1970s Laurel Canyon,” Cartwright has spent the last twenty years honing his craft as a songwriter and storyteller.https://www.elycartwright.com/
