ARH is Ward Abel, Steve Rawls and Sloan Hayes.

The trio began performing as a group in early 2002. Sloan Hayes (Starbuck, Magic Cat, Brother Bait) played keyboards on the previous Abel & Rawls releases, Two Months (1997) and As We Wake From Our Sleep (2001). ARH’s first relase was 2005’s Flash On A Film. This CD marks their 5th release.

Their music ranges from rock to country... from reggae to acoustic ballads and blues. Regardless of the song styling the focus is on melody. Diverse instrumentation and vocals have become their trademark.

The trio has shared the stage with Shawn Mullins, Michael Tolcher, Will Turpin, Diane Durrett, Orange Sky, Jan Smith and many others. In its live shows the trio plays about a dozen instruments and all three sing. The live shows frequently feature a friend (or two) sitting in on some songs. Their friends on recordings and live shows have ranged from current and past members of Kansas, Collective Soul, The JCP, Mother’s Finest, The Reluctant Saints and Calling All-Stars to name a few. All three are natives of Atlanta’s southside area.

The EP features 4 new songs plus a live recording of "I'ma Needin' To Tell You". The EP kicks into gear with the rocker "In Too Deep" and then gently glides into a beautiful jazz piece, "Our History". David Ragsdale's violin in this track is spell-binding! From here the listener is transported to the wide-open western expanse of "Good Morning Cortez". The fourth track on the CD is a short ambient, instrumental piece entitled "Raga Pony". The title was derived from the eastern influenced tonalities in David Ragsdale's violin performance and the infectious "gallop" of Calvin Kelley's performance on the cajon.

Recorded at Real 2 Reel Studios between Dec 2009 and February 2010.
