The two ivory-ticklers are teaming up for the Lottapianos Tour 2003, which launches July 26 on the West Coast. Confirmed dates have the duo entertaining the amphitheatre masses through September 4, although more shows are expected to be added.

The stint marks an unofficial continuation of Amos’ Scarlet Walk tour – which has been going on for the past seven months – and a fresh outing for Folds, who is expected to perform material from his Rockin’ The Suburbs solo album as well as his back catalogue during his hour-long set.

Speaking of albums and Ben Folds, he’s currently working on tunes for his second solo disc, which is slated for release early next year.

Amos is expected to be bringing her backing band along for the ride – Jon Evans (bass) and Matt Chamberlin (drums).
