Ben Folds had extended his “Paper Airplane Request” Tour into Fall and Winter 2024! Fold announced the beginning of the tour back in March, and the fan reception has been overwhelmingly positive. During each show, fans are invited to request a song through a paper airplane.
One of these new dates will be in Folds’ hometown, Winston-Salem. According to a recent press release, all proceeds from this show will be donated to “Keys For Kids,” which supports many nonprofits across North Carolina that offer affordable piano lessons to children across the state. The Winston-Salem concert will apparently also have a special guest performance from the Keys For Kids students.
