Acclaimed singer/songwriter Ari Hest will be making
his debut concert appearance  at the
Acoustic Café Music Series  on Saturday,
March 22nd.
Special guest Honor Finnegan, the Susan Boyle of
quirky indie folk, will open the show.



 



Blessed with a rich,
weathered baritone voice and a soaring falsetto, Ari is an artist with an
exceptional ability to connect to listeners and live audiences in a way that
few singer-songwriters can. Over the past half decade, Ari's been building his
fan-base through a savvy combination of old-school essentials: hook-filled,
classically structured pop-rock songs, charismatic presence, natural talent,
musical chops and determination.



 



Hest's music has been
featured on numerous television shows including Private Practice, Army
Wives
, and One Tree Hill. He's also scored a film called Dreamriders,
which won several independent film awards. And throughout his career, he has
toured worldwide relentlessly to support his records, most recently in Israel as well
as several European countries.



Ari has released seven
albums, three EPs, and "52" in 2008, an innovative project whereby he
wrote, recorded and released a new song every Monday for a full year.





Drawing inspiration from a wide range of musical influences, the songs on his latest
CD, The Fire Plays, fuse the sounds of 70's pop era music akin to Gordon
Lightfoot and James Taylor with the sprawling electric guitar soundscapes you'd
hear from artist/producers like Ry Cooder and Daniel Lanois. Ari is currently
in the studio recording his next CD.
