Ari Hest Plays Hometown NYC Show

Last Thursday, May 31st I had the opportunity to see our client Ari Hest play his hometown show at The Gramercy Theater/Blender Bar. It was apparent that he was just as happy to be back in New York as many of his loyal friends and family were to see him play. Ari performed many songs from his new album 'The Break-In' opening with my personal fav "When and If" and inciting a sing-along to the lovely lullaby-like "Bird Never Flies" chorus. He performed with a full band and their killer cover of Peter Gabriel's "Mercy Street" was a real showstopper. Ari closed solo with the final track on the new record "I've Got You." Written as a duet for both a male and female vocalist, Ari puts a new spin on the song by singing both parts himself. Showcasing his extremely versatile vocal range and leaving every female fan wishing she was the other half of the intimate duet...sigh.
