Ben Folds Paper Airplane Request Tour

Ben Folds Adds Paper Airplane Request Tour Dates

Super talented siner, songwriter, composer, and all ‘round entertainer Ben Folds has been on the road seemingly forever, now adding 16 more summer stops to his Paper Airplane Request Tour. This is the one where Ben formalizes that thing he does, where he asks the audience to send encore requests onstage via paper airplanes.

If you’re planning to attend, or just want to send an encore request through the chain-link fence, here’s a pretty sweet far-flying plane design from Fold ‘N Fly you can bend up in the car on the way to the show.
