We?re absolutely delighted to now be able to safely welcome back Ariel Posen to The White House, Ashington. A firm favourite, Ariel?s music occupies the space between genres. It's a rootsy sound that nods to his influences ? heartland rock & roll, electrified Americana, blue-eyed soul and R&B, Beatles-inspired pop.

Ariel turns a new corner with ?Headway? the new solo album that finds him taking stock of his personal and musical progress. Ariel began recording ?Headway? in December 2019, one week after wrapping up international touring in support of his acclaimed debut album ?How Long?. He'd been on the road for a year and a half, playing shows across the U.K., Europe, America, and his native Canada. Along the way, Ariel had received acclaim and standing ovations not only from his audiences, but also from publications like Rolling Stone, who dubbed him "a modern-day guitar hero?.

On returning home, Ariel began sifting through the new songs he'd written between tour dates. Many of the tunes had already been tested on the road, their arrangements whittled into shape by a group of road warriors at the top of their game. Practically all of the tunes were about the process of evolution ? of making progress in life, love, and all points in between. Those themes were reflected in the music itself, which presented a crisper, clearer picture of Ariel as a songwriter. If ?How Long? had been his introduction to the roots-music world, then ?Headway? was something different: a sharply-defined snapshot of a musician who has truly crystallized his sound.

Already celebrated as a frontman, multi-instrumentalist, and producer, Ariel Posen hits a new high-water mark with his second album ? an album that prioritizes songwriting above all else, showcasing the progress of a lifelong musician who's still in the middle of an upward trajectory.

Ariel?s previous visits to The White House have been terrific evenings. He?s an engaging, humble artist and an outstanding performer. Without question it will be another evening of world class music.
