    Over the last 15 years, Ben Folds’ first-class melodic gifts, irony-laced lyrics, and punk-rock tendency to play piano as if it were a contact sport have earned the former frontman of Ben Folds Five a legion of devoted fans of all ages. Returning to his signature goofy and rocking style after 2005's decidedly sober Songs for Silverman, Folds performs in a special unaccompanied performance after releasing his third solo album, Way To Normal. With irresistible hooks and piano-thumping pandemonium, Ben Folds “is more comfortable on the margins of art, respectability and society, a perpetual outsider reveling in his own eccentricities,” says Paste Magazine.
