Ari Hest (at Amazing Things)
After releasing The Break-In on Columbia Records in 2007, Ari decided it was time to take more creative control over his music and parted ways with his label. Utilizing all the technology available to him, in 2008 he launched his highly successful 52 project, a web based subscription service that found him writing, recording, and releasing a new song every Monday for an entire year. For those keeping track, that’s 52 new songs in 52 weeks! Performing Songwriter called these songs “high-caliber and heartfelt.” At the end of the year, the subscribers were asked to vote for their 12 favorite songs from the project and the ones that got the most votes were then reworked and digitally released in the form of the album Twelve Mondays in early 2009. The Washington Post wrote “An urbane folk-rocker with a sonorous baritone, Ari Hest sounds like a man out of time” and said Twelve Mondays was “skillful, pretty and straightforward.” *** The Amazing Things Art Center, 160 Hollis Street in Framingham, MA.
