At the end of this month, Ben Folds will begin a U.S. tour.  Even before the tour has begun, Folds has added some more dates to his “Paper Airplane Request Tour”.

The tour is so named because at some point in each show fans will be invited to send their requests to the stage via a paper airplane.

The proceeds from the November 19 home show in Winston-Salem will go to benefit Keys for Kids – a charitable organization that offers free and affordable piano lessons to school children in need.  Some of the children who have benefitted from the Keys for Kids program will also appear in the show.
