Ben Folds Adds Fall Dates To ‘Paper Airplanes Request Tour’

Relentlessly touring pianist and singer-songwriter Ben Folds announced a bevy of new dates for the fall.

The new shows extend Folds’ on-going “Paper Airplanes Request Tour” into mid-December. The conceit of the tour is that fans are encouraged to launch requests to Folds via paper airplanes.

The November 19 show in Folds’ hometown of Winston-Salem will benefit “Keys For Kids,” which supports a statewide network of North Carolina nonprofits that provide free or affordable piano lessons to school-age children across the state. The show will also feature a special guest appearance by Keys For Kids students.

Folds is repped by Wasserman Music.
