The 2010 Deer Valley® Music Festival
Opens with Singer-Songwriter Ben Folds
Performing with the Utah Symphony
Ben Folds brings innovative rock to the mountains of Park City, UT.
Singer-songwriter Ben Folds makes his debut with the Utah Symphony at the Deer Valley® Music Festival on Saturday, July 17, 2010 at 7:30 p.m. Known for his wit and energetic live shows, Folds will transform the orchestra into a rock band with his indie-rock piano melodies and irony-laced lyrics. Folds will present songs from his latest albums University A Cappella, Stems and Seeds, and Way To Normal at the Deer ValleyÒ Snow Park Outdoor Amphitheater.
Widely known for his prowess as a pianist, Ben Folds began his career in music as a drummer, and he is also adept at guitar and bass. Ben Folds is best known as a solo artist and as the frontman and pianist of Ben Folds Five, celebrated for a compositional style and playing technique remain wholly unique, combining elements of the singer/songwriter genre, jazz, and power rock. Indeed, Ben Folds’ music is evocative of artists such as Joe Jackson and Sir Elton John, with an added edge and bold infusion of energy and wit. Due to artistic differences, Ben Folds Five broke up in 2000, and the first Ben Folds solo album, Rockin' the Suburbs, was released in 2001, with Ben playing most of the instruments himself. The record went on to sell more than half a million records worldwide.
