Ben Folds fine - Jim Kershner's column in Features

Ben Folds fine

Here’s a mini-review of the Ben Folds concert with the Spokane Symphony, last Sunday at The Fox:

 

He may look a little nerdy in his T-shirt and sneakers, but the guy is a monster on the piano. He’s also an endlessly inventive melodic composer and biting satiric lyricist.

 

His tunes with the symphony had a big, full sound, yet some of the best moments came when it was just Folds and his piano, performing “Army” and other cult hits.

 

Folds also performed a few songs from his upcoming Nick Hornby project. The British novelist writes the lyrics; Folds writes the music.
