Ben Folds Benefit Announced

Singer-songwriter Ben Folds has announced that he will perform a benefit concert for the Nashville Symphony's flood recovery efforts and some of the area's volunteer firemen on November 27 at TPAC. The concert, Keys to Music City, will conclude Folds' current tour in support of his newest release, Lonely Avenue.

The flood happened in a matter of hours, but digging out of it will take years,” Folds says. “This concert is an effort to help keep the recovery in the front of our minds and to help restore our great symphony hall. Of course, a donation to our first responders like our volunteer firemen is in order too, because without them the Middle Tennessee community would have lost so much more.”

Tickets to this concert will go on sale Friday, September 17 at 10 a.m. to Symphony donors and subscribers and to Ben Folds Fan Club members. They go on sale to the general public exactly a week later. Tickets start at $55, but those interested in a once-in-a-lifetime experience may purchase a special ticket package — limited to two people —that includes two seats on the stage and a post-concert meet-and-greet with the artist for $800.
