When my friend Jim Bianchi told me I should check out Ari Hest's show at Lestat's West back when it was still open, I was skeptical, but intrigued. I'd never heard of the guy, yet I heard he'd just completed a project where he gave subscribers a fully produced new song once a week for a year. He called the project "52". I didn't attend that show, but later listened to him online and have been extremely impressed by everything I've heard. You will be too! Not only was he signed to Columbia records, but nominated for a Grammy for an album he did with Judy Collins. Please, do yourself, and me, a favor and get your tickets today!
