Ariel Strasser
Ariel Strasser is a singer, songwriter and pianist originally from the Twin Cities, Minnesota. A graduate of the Boston Conservatory's musical theater program with an emphasis in songwriting, she frequently tours the country delivering soulful pop tunes reminiscent of Carole King, Sara Bareilles and Norah Jones. She comes from a family of musicians, so it is no surprise to see her pursuing music as well. Recorded at The Vault recording studio in Hoboken, NJ with producer Dan McLoughlin of The Push Stars, her debut album "Crooked Line" released to five star reviews in 2013. "Crooked Line" features Nate Tucker on drums and percussion, Max Judelson on upright bass, Adrianne Pope on violin and Chris Trapper, also of The Push Stars, on vocals. Ari's newest release, "Motivation" features beloved New England locals Ken Budka, Steve Clements and Paul Ortolano and is produced by Nick Zampiello of New Alliance East.
Bridges & Tunnels
A NYC based Americana band focused on bringing people together, that lets their words, harmonies, and hooks do the talking. The band has been featured on over 50 radio stations across the US and Canada.
Following the successful reception of songwriter Danny Greenberg’s debut LP, the band spent the last three years playing shows around the Northeast headlining venues such as Rockwood Music Hall and My Fathers Place, and opening for acts such as Erick Schenkman of the Spin Doctors. Previous support for the project includes over 50 radio stations across the US and Canada, Interviews with NPR and WFUV, and being featured in John Platt’s On Your Radar as an act you need to know.
Musically, Brides & Tunnels both polished and expanded their approach, retaining their narrative depth while bringing a simplicity and space to the sound that allows the words, harmonies and hooks to do the talking.
The band lives by their mission of using music and narrative to connect people to things we all have in common. In scope, palette, and composition, Bridges & Tunnels is a more daring and successful leap for a song writer that already kickstarted his career with a promising debut.
