Ben Folds Five – January 23rd – The Ogden
Until last Wednesday night, it had been a very long time since Ben Folds Five performed in Denver.

This is the first major tour in over a decade for Ben Folds Five. The band amicably parted ways shortly after the 20th Century’s end, eager to explore fresh terrain after seven years of intense concentration on the band. Now after thirteen years since their last album the band has released ‘The Sound Of The Life Of The Mind.’ Although all three members see Ben Folds Five carrying on for the foreseeable future, it would be ill advised to miss this show.
