Ben Folds just announced a new Spring tour (with no new record to support) which will bring him to the Town Hall for two nights on April 12 & 13 and the venerable Wellmont Theatre on April 9. Tickets for the Town Hall shows go on Amex presale starting on Feb 12 at 10AM EST, regular on sale will commence on Feb 19 at 10AM EST.
Folds continues to support his third solo album, “Way to Normal,” which surfaced in 2008 and landed at No. 11 on The Billboard 200. The lead track, “You Don’t Know Me” featuring Regina Spektor, made it into the Top 30 at Triple A radio. That song and a couple others from the album are streaming at Folds’ MySpace page.

Last spring, Folds released “Ben Folds Presents University A Cappella,” a compilation of his songs performed by leading college vocal troupes from around the US. In December, Folds appeared as a judge (alongside Nicole Scherzinger and Shawn Stockman) on NBC’s a capella competition show, “The Sing Off.” The four-part series featured eight a capella groups performing popular tunes and attempting to win a grand prize of $100,000.
