Ben Folds is widely regarded as one of the major music influencers of our generation.
The Emmy-nominated singer-songwriter-composer has created an enormous body of genre-bending music that includes pop albums with Ben Folds Five, multiple solo albums, and numerous collaborative records.
His latest album features a live orchestral performance of his hits captured just before he stepped down as Artistic Advisor to the National Symphony Orchestra (NSO) at the Kennedy Center in DC.
He currently tours as a pop artist, while also performing with some of the world’s greatest symphony orchestras.
A New York Times Best Selling author, Ben is also working on new compositions for film, tv and theatre.
A long time arts advocate and philanthropist, Ben founded a music education charitable initiative in his native state of North Carolina entitled “Keys For Kids,” which provides funds and keyboards to existing nonprofits that offer free or affordable piano lessons to hundreds of school-age children each year from economically-disadvantaged households. He also advocates for public funding of the arts in schools and communities as a member of Americans For The Arts and the Arts Action Fund.
