With presale currently underway, Ben Folds & A Piano is an intimate showcase of the Emmy-nominated singer-songwriter and New York Times Best Selling author’s catalogue. Experience past and current hits, stories from three decades of touring and music making and some stand-out singalongs. His own acclaim includes hits ‘Rockin’ the Suburbs’, ‘The Luckiest’, ‘You Don’t Know Me’, ‘Still Fighting It’ and ‘Still’, whilst his Ben Folds Five frontman era includes the heartbreaking ‘Brick’, ‘Army’, ‘Philosophy’, ‘Underground’, ‘Kate’, ‘Song for the Dumped’ and ‘One Angry Dwarf and 200 Solemn Faces’.

Folds has been dubbed one of the finest music makers of our generation, having spent the last three decades touring as a pop artist and performing with some of the world’s greatest symphony orchestras. He is often credited as being a major songwriter influence on emerging artists due to his profound storytelling style which he marries with rich instrumentation. He has contributed music works for film, television and theatre, with original new music he composed to be featured in an animated Peanuts special airing this summer on Apple TV.

Don’t miss a chance to see Folds stripped back with a piano, particularly for regional audiences who get a rare offering of his talent in Bendigo.

Frontier Member presale is underway with general ticket sales going live Tuesday 12 August, 11am local time. Tickets and tour information can be found here.
