“Every dollar I have saved
Every winter I have braved
Every road that I have paved
Leads to somewhere”
- Ari Hest’s “Aberdeen”

Like many a young songwriting musician before him, Ari Hest grew up shy and introverted, but discovered in music a means to communicate with the world at large. On Someone To Tell, Ari's combination of heart, soul, strong sense of melody, and a gimmick-free approach to classic pop songcraft, has resulted in an album that promises great times, and delivers great tunes, for once and future fans of this 21st century troubadour.

Over the past half decade, Ari's been building his fan-base through a savvy combination of old-school essentials: hook-filled, classically structured pop-rock songs, charismatic presence, natural talent, musical chops and determination, and a blue-collar work ethic that has kept him touring the country constantly for the past three years. New-school innovations, including well-designed internet promotional tools, encouragement of live show tape-trading and sharing, and the development of a promotional street team called the "A-Team", have also helped spread his music to a devoted legion of fans.

As Ari Hest prepares to release Someone To Tell, his major label debut album, he stands at a crossroads: looking back down the long road he’s paved to get to this point, and looking ahead to the promise of where that path will now take him. Blessed with a rich, weathered baritone voice and a soaring falsetto, Ari is developing into an artist with an exceptional ability to connect to listeners and live audiences in a way that few singer-songwriters can.
