Husband & wife duo Ryan and Ashley McCarty deliver introspective, thoughtful music on their debut album, “Keyholder”. Their two-piece band, Aries Road, is their own labor of love from start to finish: In addition to writing, recording, and producing all tracks themselves, they’ve also released “Keyholder” on their own label. And they’ve done a great job without any outside input: Ryan McCarty’s guitarwork lays the perfect foundation for Ashley McCarty’s solid vocals (think Stevie Nicks).

Aries Road do hop genres a bit here: “Going Home” is an 90’s-flavored mellow alt-rock cut that brings to mind an updated Blind Melon, while “Leavin’ You” is a classic blues piece; “California” is a more rock-driven track, with some nice guitar riffs. Although each piece stands well on its own, it might be harder for them to connect with their audience if they try to cover too much musical ground at once. That being said, I enjoyed what I heard - and I think “Keyholder” is an excellent debut for this dynamic duo.

As we continue to push forward and write new material for our second album…the time has come for us to expand and acquire additional musicians.  As some of you may already know from our our debut album “Keyholder”, percussionist Andy Cravello (a.k.a. Andooga) laid down the conga track on Old Soul.  Since then he has continued to be involved with our music, and so the decision has been made to bring him aboard as part of Aries Road.   We are looking forward to working with him on our next album!

Local Flavors debuted on Rogers State University Radio Station KRSC 91.3FM in 2002. Original host, Charlie 7, left the show in 2005. Ryan Embry hosted the show from 2005-2006 calling it the Oklashow. In June 2006, RSU Radio asked Tulsa Radio Personality/Promoter, Davit Souders, to take over hosting and programming the show throughout the summer. Souders returned the show to its original name, Local Flavors. Souders hosted the local music show Home Groan (the original inspiration for Local Flavors, according to Charlie 7) for 8 years on Tulsa’s Z-104.5 The Edge.  At summers end, RSU Radio management named Souders full time host. Souders also hosts This 70’s Show on RSU Radio Sundays 1p-3p. The show features Top Forty 70’s Rock, One Hit Wonderful Music, Funk, and 70’s cowbell classics.  In addition, Souders programs and hosts, along with Producer Dustin Parkhurst, the broadcast/podcast Hometown Heroes featuring Tulsa Area Music at www.hometownheroestulsa.com . You can subscribe to the podcasts for free through iTunes.  Local Flavors, This 70’s Show and Hometown Heroes are diabolicasts produced for Diabolical Productions LLC.
