Ben Folds – Microshow at the Turf Club (full concert, live for The Current)

On Tuesday, May 9, singer-songwriter and piano player extraordinaire Ben Folds gave an unforgettable and revelatory Microshow performance at the Turf Club in St. Paul. During an energetic nine-song set that included several selections from his latest album, "What Matters Most" (out now on @NewWestRecords), Folds interspersed his set with rich, personal stories behind the new songs.

Also in the set list were several songs from Folds’ back catalogue, including a group sing-along among the audience during “You Don’t Know Me,” conducted by Folds as he played and sang his own part.
