Sorry for the inconsistency and delays in the posts!! Travelling all around interrupted my writing schedule. So we’ll do 2 in a row today. The 25th day band is Ben Folds Five.
“Ben, Robert and Darren first got back together last summer to record three new songs for a career retrospective 3-CD set released in October of last year. Finding it to be fun and feeling that old magic, the three original members decided to go the distance and record a full new album at Ben’s Nashville studio earlier this year.” (from benfoldsfive.com)
Personally, I can’t get enough of the piano and rock combination and I’m beyond excited that they’re back together and touring, especially through Bonnaroo.
