The gig will take place this Sunday, February 10, at Bedfords Bar in Norwich with support from local blues rockers Dirty Martini.

Born in New Jersey and raised mostly in California, Arielle makes music that incorporates country-rock, folk and blues into her own 60s and 70s influenced pop.

She has played with the likes of Vince Gill, Eric Johnson, Paul Gilbert and Bryan May to name just a few, also performing in CeeLo Green's band at Coachella in 2011.

This was followed by signing a record deal with Open E Entertainment. Arielle then went on to collaborate with producer/songwriters Red Decibel Music Group on her California EP which was released by the label in 2014.

More recently she has operated out of her own studio space continuing to put out music at a quick pace, self-releasing her latest EP Mind Lion in February of 2018.

When asked how best to describe herself, Arielle said: 'I'm a gypsy travelling, guitar-wielding, song-writing, flowy clothes wearing lady. I've got a hippie heartbeat, with an edgy rocker spirit.'

'Some say I'm a bit of a throw-back, since I'm pretty sure in some other lifetime I was raised in the 60s and 70s, soaking up the tie-dye love.'

'My music tells the rollercoaster story of life. As I know it. Possibly you, too?'

'It oozes and infuses of heartbreak, whole-hearted love, loss, whimsy dreams, hope, and a knowing that just 'round the bend, a better day is near. I'll never lose faith in that'
