Having seen two Ben Folds performances prior to Saturday night’s show at the House of Blues in Boston, I knew I was in for a good time before I even arrived inside the venue. However, this show marked the first time I’d be able to see Ben Folds Five, the trio that jump-started my man crush on the bespectacled ivory tickler.

Discography Fever: Ben Folds

Discography Fever: Ben Folds

Fiercely talented pianist, purveyor of smart-ass wit, humanist and surprisingly moving storyteller, encyclopedic and agreeably nerdy singing-contest judge; Ben Folds has been accumulating his vast fanbase for two decades now, sucking listeners in with his spirited piano-pop jams, and keeping them around for his left-field stylistic excursions and smarmy observational humor.
