ARI HEST
arihest.com

Ari Hest is a Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter who 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 followed up in 2009 with Twelve Mondays, a collection of remixed fan favorites from the 52. From 2010 to 2016, Ari continued to tour relentlessly and released four other LPs: 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 The Treehouse Project, where he has been recording and releasing a song every two weeks through his Patreon page since early 2022. Based on the votes of his subscribers, he remixes the 10 favorite songs from each year to release a yearly album, with the next one, The Treehouse Project - Year Three, due out in summer 2025.

CHRIS TRAPPER

"Classic pop perfection." - New York Times

Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Chris Trapper has traveled the world over, performing to a dedicated and ever-growing fan base with nothing but his guitar and his songs.

Raised on Prine and Kristofferson, Trapper's first foray in the music industry was as frontman of the critically acclaimed alt-rock band The Push Stars (Capitol Records). Over the past decade, Chris has become a modern-day acoustic troubadour, performing over 150 dates a year as a headliner and sharing the stage with the likes of Rob Thomas, Pat Benatar, and even John Prine himself.

Chris’s newest record, “Watching Sparks Fly By,” is his 12th full-length solo album and was released on March 11th, 2025. The Boston-based troubadour employed multiple producers to bring 13 brand new tracks to life (plus 3 bonus tracks, including a studio version of the fan favorite “Keg On My Coffin”). Highlights include the first single “Campfire Symphony”, the G. Love collaboration “Swept Away,” and the gentle ballad “Toast To Us” featuring rock and roll hall of famer Pat Benatar.

A favorite of Hollywood's music supervisors, Chris's songs have appeared in such films as "The Devil Wears Prada", "There's Something About Mary," and his song, "This Time," was the number one selling song on the Grammy-nominated soundtrack for "August Rush" (Robin Williams, Jonathan Rhys Meyers).

WITH OUR GUEST, PETE MULLER
petemuller.com

Pete Muller’s latest album, More Time, is a vibrant, rock- and soul-tinged exploration of the inner conflicts and joys that come with living a life of depth and duality. Recorded in Memphis with producer Matt Ross-Spang and featuring a duet with Lisa Loeb, the album captures Muller at a creative high point—grappling with questions of identity, temptation, purpose, and presence, all delivered with raw vocals and sharp, expressive songwriting.

Backed by a standout band of seasoned players, More Time marks a new chapter in Muller’s artistic evolution, pushing his sound beyond the folk-inflected tones of earlier work into something bolder and more expansive.

Muller’s journey to this moment has been anything but conventional. A Princeton-trained math mind who helped reshape Wall Street through quantitative finance, he stepped away at the peak of his business success to reconnect with his artistic self—busking in subways, writing songs, and eventually recording a series of acclaimed albums. He later played a key role in saving and reviving the legendary Power Station studio in New York. Now splitting time between coasts and continuing to perform, collaborate, and release new music, Muller has found harmony in a life that holds space for both the analytical and the expressive. With More Time, he affirms that choosing between passion and practicality is a false choice—you can have both.
