Think about this: As of Feb. 5, his former band Ben Folds Five’s breakthrough album Whatever and Ever Amen will be 20 years old. Damn. That means teens have been lying in bed, star- ing at the ceiling and listening, no, feeling, the melancholy hit “Brick” for generations now. But Folds the solo act (and band for that matter) didn’t stop in the ’90s, and neither should you, listeners. His tender alt-pop continued with Rockin’ the Suburbs (2001), Songs for Silverman (2005) and, most recently, 2015’s So There, a collabo- rative album with New York instrumental outfit yMusic. Fans will recognize his signature percussive piano style, but Folds also taps into some big chamber orchestra sounds with a piano concerto. As always, however, Folds is not afraid to delve lyri- cally into the sad, sentimental stuff. When he performs at McDonald Theatre Oct. 25, it will be just Folds and his piano, and stripped down is perhaps the best way to see this sensitive but cheeky singer-song- writer. — Alex V.
