Ben Folds Paper Airplane Request Tour with Special Guest Lindsey Kraft

“Gen-X’s preeminent pop piano player” (Pop Matters), Ben Folds is a gifted musician, singer-songwriter, and composer, known for comedic and bittersweet tunes that unfold like four-minute short stories. The Guardian describes him as “a classically trained frontman who loves to delight a crowd with a killer melody.” His chamber pop performances are rife with engaging anecdotes and dexterous improvisation. 

This Scottsdale performance is part of Folds’s popular Paper Airplane Request Tour, where fans will be invited to launch their song requests to the stage via paper airplanes. 

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 collaborations with everyone from Regina Spektor and yMusic to Nick Hornby and William Shatner. His hits include “Brick,” “The Luckiest,” “Army,” “Rockin’ the Suburbs,” and “Battle of Who Could Care Less.” For the past three decades, he’s toured as a pop artist while also performing with some of the world’s greatest symphony orchestras.
