Max Ariel is a singer/songwriter, among many things. He wrote this bio himself in the third person. He wants everyone to know that singing/songwriting is not his whole life.

Flat Mary Road is a Philadelphia based “folk-rock” band that started in 2007. They have played in several different bars, venues, and coffeehouses throughout Philadelphia, and have been featured in specific art festivals, openings, and craft fairs.

A Philadelphia transplant by way of Pittsburgh, Howard Louis comes armed with powerful vocals and a piano. He fuses sounds of rock, alternative, pop, and even flavors of show tunes in his catalog of songs. Louis’s brutally honest lyrics are perceptive, biting, self-deprecating, and naked. All of these qualities are crafted over melodic soundscapes that are sometimes dark, sometimes quirky, and sometimes raw and beautiful.
