Ariel + The Undertow are planning a performance in New York City in celebration of the Jan. 22 release of their album of the same name, Ariel + The Undertow. The band came about when lead singer Ariel Rubin began to struggle with chronic fatigue syndrome. The impediment caused her to quit her job and spend time at home writing music, which has certainly been impacted by her experiences and hardships. The group will be at The Living Room on Jan. 24.
