Biography[]
Ariel was raised by her mother Crystal in a childhood spent moving between Los Angeles, France and elsewhere in Europe. She attended Marlboro College in Vermont, where she studied sociology and theatre, it was also where she met her future husband, Ben Powel who studied writing.
After graduating, they married (officiated by Jackson Browne) and moved to Los Angeles, where Ariel started a modest acting career. The couple had both agreed to go back to Vermont if they had children, and they eventually did, two twin sons named Max and Gus. Her father Warren, despite being diagnosed with terminal mesothelioma, managed to live to see his grandchildren. Ariel attended the ceremony where Warren received two posthumous Grammys for his The Wind album and "Disorder in the House" song.
Keeping true to their earlier decision, Ariel and Ben moved to Barre, Vermont. There Ariel founded Local Agricultural Community Exchange, an organization dedicated to supporting family farming, farmer's markets, organic food, and urban/rural relations. The organization was further supported by Ariel's godfather Jackson Browne playing benefit concerts for the group. Powell and Ariel divorced in 2011 and LACE closed.
She released her own debut album The Detangler in January 27, 2018. This was followed by Well Water Will Rise released on March 17, 2021 through Bandcamp. Ariel would later record two protest songs, "Witness" about the murder of George Floyd, and "Devils in Robes" in response to the overturning of Roe v. Wade, also distributed through Bandcamp. These would be included on her next album In The Fringe, released December 22, 2022, which also features a cover of her father's "Bed of Coals".
