Ron Pope / Ari Herstand

ALL AGES

RON POPE: New York based recording artist Ron Pope has been an online sensation since 2007, selling nearly 1 million digital singles thanks in large part to a worldwide, honest to goodness grassroots movement. Fans rave about Pope's soulful voice, incredible songcraft, and explosive guitar heroics. He was a musical guest on MTV's TRL, has had songs placed on Fox's "So You Think You Can Dance" in both the US and Canada, was signed to Universal Republic Records in 2009, and had two albums in the iTunes top 100 at the same time during the summer of 2010. On the Spring-Summer 2011 national tour supporting his latest album "Whatever It Takes", Ron Pope fans new and old can expect performances that lay to waste any and all expectations every single night.

ARI HERSTAND: Recently relocated from Minneapolis to Los Angeles, Ari Herstand, who has opened for artists such as Ben Folds, Cake, Joshua Radin, Matt Nathanson and Eric Hutchinson, is best known for his solo, live looping abilities: melding the guitar, keyboard, trumpet, tambourine, vocals and beat boxing seamlessly to create a unique, full band sound. Having multiple songs featured on TV shows like One Tree Hill and various MTV shows, touring coast-to-coast and playing renowned festivals like Milwaukee's Summerfest and Austin's South by Southwest Music Festival, the buzz is rapidly building around Ari Herstand.
