Emmy-nominated, multi-platinum selling music artist Ben Folds has announced additional Fall shows are being added across the U.S. as part of his “Paper Airplane Request Tour,” including a show November 19th in his hometown of Winston-Salem which will spotlight his North Carolina charitable initiative “Keys For Kids.”
Fans during each of the shows will be invited to launch their song requests to the stage via paper airplanes.
All proceeds from his Winston-Salem concert will benefit “Keys For Kids,” which supports a statewide network of North Carolina nonprofits that provide free or affordable piano lessons to school-age children across the state. Folds’ Winston-Salem show will also feature a special guest appearance by Keys For Kids students.
