"The poster child of DIY music" -Forbes Ari Herstand wears many hats atop his fro. Since releasing his previous album, Brave Enough, in 2014 he’s released a best-selling book, appeared on various TV shows as an actor, toured the world as a speaker, launched Ari’s Take Academy online music business school, a throw-back 1970s inspired funk project Brassroots District, and the New Music Business podcast. And went through a breakup from an 11 year relationship. The latter being the most influential to his life and career. The new album, Like Home, created in quarantine with his producer Justin Glasco (The Lone Bellow, Andrew Bird, Cary Brothers), chronicles this time period in Ari's life. Ari cites his Hotel Cafe friends JP Saxe and Theo Katzman as two modern songwriting troubadours who he admires and pulls inspiration from.
