Ariel Aparicio All These Brilliant Things Ariel Aparicio knows rock and roll, and in his newest release All These Brilliant Things, he grabs hold of this knowledge and a host of life-experiences and hoists them violently and unapologetically on the stage, for all to see. Cuban by birth, Ariel is now a full-time brooklynite. Having gone from bartender to the owner of two of Brooklyn’s hottest restaurants, Ariel is attuned to the abrupt highs and lows of life in the city.
