Best-known as the powerhouse leader of Ben Folds Five, Ben Folds launched his solo career in 2000 after the band's breakup. Since then, he has released four solo LPs, including his most recent solo album entitled Songs for Silverman. With this striking and intricately crafted album, Ben Folds shows his maturity as a powerful artist through tricky time signatures and delicate ballads on tracks such as "Jesusland" and "Late." He also contributed to William Shatner's most recent album Has Been and will release a compilation featuring remastered and reworked songs from his EP's by the end of 2006.
Ben Folds' solo act creates quite the buzz on the road. Renowned as "Ben Folds and a piano," he's not shy of inviting audience members on stage to break out the beats, often asking them to sing trumpet and saxophone melodies or provide backing vocals. With a little audience assistance and Folds' improvisational skills, riotous renditions of pop tunes take the crowd by storm.
