“I never would have thought that after a stint studying abroad at UNSW for a semester in 2001, that I’d be back as a singer-songwriter sharing my songs with beautiful Australia. I am beyond thrilled for this opportunity. Ben Folds’ fans are the best fans in the world!” – Lindsey Kraft

The tour features Folds performing both past and current hits, while sharing stories from his over three decades as a platinum-selling singer-songwriter and former frontman of Ben Folds Five.

Lindsey Kraft is known for her television roles in Netflix’s Grace and Frankie, HBO’s Getting On, and most recently Netflix’s Obliterated (among others). She is currently workshopping a one-woman musical about one woman, who as a 40-year-old, learns to play piano because she has songs in her head that need to get out. They’re out now! And they make up that one-woman musical she dreamed into being. ​

After a 2-year stint sharing her songs and stories for thousands in the US, she has accidentally become a formidable piano player and singer, powered by the honesty of writing out of necessity – to survive.

The Houston Press writes “As she works through the songs, a tale unfolds in acts, so her set is constructed like a highly entertaining, very satisfying, one-woman mini-musical. We’re super eager to see her give it life as a proper musical some day or at least hold out for a recorded album of the funny, tender, deeply personal songs.”

DC Music Review said her performance was glowing, praising her as transfixing, witty, and sincerely funny and sad, with brilliant piano playing.

Her songs have inspired lines of new fans after each show, whose reviews are the only reviews she says she cares about. Here are some of them!

“You just told MY story about me and my dad.”

“I never heard of you before tonight, and now you’re the only thing that matters.”

“After your show tonight, I’m going to get out of a toxic friendship that I should have years ago.”

“Thank you for sharing your beautiful gift with a father and his daughter where it felt like the room disappeared and you sang just to us! Keep writing. Keep playing. Keep singing.”

Lindsey likes Carly Simon, Carole King, Billy Joel, Bette Midler, Randy Newman, and Broadway music (“but like, only the good shows”). She also loves vintage clothing shops and despises dishonesty.

Don’t miss the witty and heartfelt Ben Folds with special guest Lindsey Kraft in February and March.

About BEN FOLDS

Ben Folds is an Emmy-nominated singer-songwriter who has created an enormous body of genre-bending music that includes pop albums with Ben Folds Five, multiple solo albums, a holiday album, and numerous collaborative records.

He currently tours as a pop artist, while also performing for over two decades with some of the world’s greatest symphony orchestras.

Folds, who served for eight years as the first ever Artistic Advisor to the National Symphony Orchestra (NSO) at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, stepped down from his post when Donald Trump announced his takeover of the Center. On October 25 and 26, 2024, just days before the US presidential election, Folds recorded two sold out performances with the NSO which he released as a live album in July which debuted at the top of the Billboard classical and classical crossover charts.

A New York Times Best Selling author, Ben also creates new music for film, tv and theatre, with original new music he composed to be featured in an animated Peanuts special airing this summer on Apple TV.

In 2022, he launched a music education charitable initiative in his native state of North Carolina entitled “Keys For Kids,” which provides funds and keyboards to existing nonprofits that offer free or affordable piano lessons to school-age children from economically-disadvantaged households. For the past 15 years he has been an outspoken advocate for arts funding, music education and music therapy in the US as a member of Americans For The Arts and the Arts Action Fund.
