Great “VIP” seats, at the rear of a table in the front row, near the
center
Although Ari Hest featured strong singing and guitar work (excepting
his three-song detour to the piano mid-set) throughout his 70-minute show, he
saved most of the best for the end, finishing the main set with “I’ve Got You”,
and then encoring with “Heart Of A Lion” from his recent album Natural and a nice cover of Paul Simon’s
“Still Crazy After All These Years”. My other favorite was “The Weight” (a Hest
original, not the Band tune), which appears most recently on his
Grammy-nominated Silver Skies Blue
duet album with Judy Collins.
Ken Yates, a Canadian singer-songwriter who’s played a number of house
concerts in this area, provided a 40-minute opening set whose most memorable
songs included “Huntsville”, “Keep Your Head Down”, and “Roll Me On Home.”
