Bio - ARIEL has been a Northern California live music staple, playing hundreds of gigs in venues from intimate clubs to large festivals. ARIEL has been lucky enough to have been featured in concert supporting luminaries such as Santana, Eddie Money, Starship and John Lee Hooker. ARIEL is best known for their 1985 hit “In Mendocino” and the multi-lingual recording “International World.” Greetings from Ariel!, the band’s debut album, included the singles "An American Girl," (featuring guitar phenom Ronnie Montrose) and "Stuck in Traffic" (with Night Ranger’s Brad Gillis). ARIEL’s next CD was International World. Recorded in multiple languages, its title track--a rock anthem to world peace--has been heard in various forms in nearly every country in the world. The album also yielded the haunting hit "Poem for Cassandra." ARIEL’s current album is entitled Sure Thing, You Bet! and features the singles “Crank Up the Victrola” and “Zombies.” Sure Thing, You Bet! is available on itunes and at major retailers worldwide. Jenkins and Petersen are also authors of the popular children’s songbook Crazy Campsongs (with famed Mad magazine illustrator Jack Davis). In between writing songs, Jenkins and Petersen keep a busy schedule producing other bands and artists both for their own label Jenpet Records, and for other independent labels. ARIEL just won the East Bay Express Newspaper Readers Poll Award for “Best Old School Musical Act” in the 2008 Best of the East Bay. ARIEL previously was awarded the title of “Most Rousing Band” by the Express in 2007.
