Ariel Godwin has been best described as "a clever and quirky songwriter who writes clever and quirky songs." He writes about practically anything. Favorite subjects inlcude duct tape, pasta plants, and social issues. He also devises musical arrangements for poems by greats such as Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear. His albums are fun and unpredictable, like his concerts. Some songs are hilarious, some serious. His main instrument is the guitar, but other, more strange instruments and sounds tend to show up here and there.

Ariel grew up in the woods in upstate New York, a mysterious region whose atmosphere pervades his songwriting. Upstate New York is about the only place where you will find roads with names like "Bogusville Hill Road", "Swamp College Road", and "Podunk Road". The scenery there is postcard-like, hence the album title "Life in a Postcard." Besides New York, he has lived in many different places and traveled a great deal, which has broadened and influenced his songwriting.
