Ari Hest January 27, 2011

A mesmerizing indie-folk artist and “captivating live performer” (Boston Globe), Hest ditched the major labels for more control over his candid melodies and pristine songwriting.

* Hest first performed at The Barns in fall 2008. In summer 2009 he opened for Sheryl Crow at the Filene Center.
* "Although he may be a few decades too late to be called a beatnik, with his rejection of a major label, long hair, and songs about chasing miracles, Hest would make Kerouac proud."—Cleveland Free Times
