Ari Hest and Kate Lamont Charm the Room
By Steve Ruemmele

Ari Hest arrived at the Kessler House well into his 52 Project, where he has committed to putting out a song a week for the whole year. So on this late August Friday night, he had plenty of fresh material to pull from. Many of Ari's fans populated the room, one from as far as North Carolina, and they weren't shy about requesting from his recent catalog. His smooth soulful voice and well-crafted songs filled the room and enchanted the full house.

Kate Lamont, a local Indianapolis musician with the band Blueprint Music, provided a rare solo performance on the resident baby grand. She quickly captured the audience with her beautiful voice and playful, melodic piano.
