Ari Hest began his career as an independent artist in 2001. He built a loyal following touring the college circuit extensively between 2000 and 2003, after which he released two albums on Columbia Records, Someone To Tell (2004) and The Break-In (2007) all the while touring both in the U.S. and abroad with artists such as Martin Sexton, Suzanne Vega, and Ani Difranco.

In 2008, Ari wrote, recorded and released a new song every Monday in his 52 project, and released Twelve Mondays in 2009, a collection of re-mixed fan favorites from 52. From 2010-2016, Ari continued to tour relentlessly and released four other LP’s: Sunset Over Hope Street (2011), The Fire Plays (2012), Shouts And Whispers (2015), and the grammy nominated Silver Skies Blue (2017), a duets album with Judy Collins.

Many of Ari’s songs have appeared on TV and film – The Path, The Lincoln Lawyer, Private Practice, Army Wives, and One Tree Hill to name a few. Ari began writing, recording and releasing a song every two weeks through his Patreon page in early 2022 and continues to do so today. He released two albums of Patreon subscriber favorites in the spring of 2024 entitled The Treehouse Project – Year One and Year Two respectively.

Special Guest Nini Camps will join Ari in this performance. Nini Camps is many things, but at her core, she’s a creative spirit whose music—and voice—brings people together, sparks inspiration, and speaks to the moments that shape our lives. Raised in Miami and based in New York, Camps blazed onto the legendary NYC music scene with a soulful style that quickly led her from intimate clubs to Madison Square Garden, sharing stages with artists like Joan Osborne and Los Lonely Boys. A Billboard Songwriter Award recipient and one of Spin Magazine’s Top 5 Singer-Songwriters for her album So Long, she’s seen her songs land in hit TV shows—Grey’s Anatomy, Station 19, Pretty Little Liars, and more—through Concord Music Publishing.
