Part of Hancher's 53rd season

An artist whose career has unfolded in a myriad of genre-bending ways sits down at the piano.

Widely regarded as a major music influencer of his generation, Ben Folds is an Emmy-nominated singer-songwriter-composer who has created an enormous body of work. His catalog includes pop albums with Ben Folds Five, multiple solo albums, and numerous collaborative records. As the tour title suggests, this time out he’s getting down to basics. But of course, there is nothing basic about the music and career of Ben Folds.

“Ben Folds’s musical crux is rooted in ingenuity, with sonic experimentations and visions of bold, new concepts coursing through his veins.” – Far Out Magazine
