The past four years have been an exciting whirlwind for the Ann Arbor, MI–based 12-year-old twins Ariel and Zoey Engelbert and their younger brother, 10-year-old Eli. With their nationally syndicated music variety TV show Ariel & Zoey & Eli, Too beginning its second season on September 26, 2011, the trio – who also have their own band Sugar Station – have been dreaming big and living even bigger. Ever since Ariel and Zoey caught the attention of famed Detroit radio personality Dick Purtan with their cover of “The Rainbow Connection” that they recorded just for fun, it’s been full steam ahead, with the addition of little brother Eli, who has gone from the girls’ charming and animated emcee to a full-fledged member of the show and band. After their first tour of U.S. military bases in 2009, they were asked to film a pilot episode of a show that encompassed the energy of their live performances. Hence, Ariel & Zoey & Eli, Too came to be.
With the goal of empowering, educating and entertaining children primarily through music, Ariel & Zoey & Eli, Too debuted in September of 2010 and is now available in more than 90 million U.S. homes. The show features interviews with celebrities like Miranda Cosgrove and David Archuleta and accomplished public figures across many different sectors, educational segments and Sugar Station performances with the show’s varied musical guests, as well as the band’s own music videos. Planning the episodes’ content by using their own interests, observations and appetite for fun, Ariel, Zoey and Eli have created a show rich with musicality, humor, lessons and, most importantly, a lot of heart.
Check out this sneak peek montage of Season 2 which will feature Miranda Cosgrove, The Verve Pipe, brand new Sugar Station songs, students from The University of Michigan Musical Theater Department (a program that has sent many of its alumni to Broadway!), the Parade Company, the home of the celebrated America’s Thanksgiving Parade, and an inside look at Detroit’s top radio show Blaine & Allyson In The Morning.
In season two Michigan Xtreme Cheer and Dance was featured in an Ariel & Zoey & Eli, Too episode. The episode was designed to support anit-bullying. The MIX team was performing to the "Ballad of Bernie" written by Broadway composer Gary Adler. Check out a clip of the upcoming episode! Also featured in the episode was Michigan's Opera Theater Children's Chorus.
