An Evening with Ari Hest wsg Jill Greenlee

We're excited to host another beautiful night of music here in The Dollhouse with Ari Hest.

Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Ari Hest has been captivating audiences since launching his career as an independent artist in 2001. After releasing two albums on Columbia Records — Someone to Tell and The Break-In — Ari went on to tour the world alongside artists like Martin Sexton, Suzanne Vega, and Ani DiFranco.

His ambitious 52 project in 2008 produced a new song every week for a year, leading to the fan-favorite album Twelve Mondays. Since then, Hest has released a string of acclaimed albums including Sunset Over Hope Street, The Fire Plays, and Shouts and Whispers, as well as the Grammy-nominated duets record Silver Skies Blue with folk legend Judy Collins.

Ari’s music has been featured in numerous films and TV shows — from The Lincoln Lawyer and Private Practice to One Tree Hill. Most recently, he’s continued releasing new music directly to fans through his Patreon project, sharing fresh songs every two weeks.

Join us for an intimate night of storytelling in the candlelit listening room at Fire Doll Studio.
