Lewiston, NY -- Singer-songwriter, musician, and composer Ben Folds will bring his What Matters Most Tour to the Artpark Mainstage Theater on Friday, June 16, 2023 at 8:00PM.

Widely regarded as one of the major music influencers of our generation, Folds’ masterful new collection, What Matters Most, isn’t so much a statement as it is an offering, an open hand reaching out to all those wounded and bewildered by a world that seems to make less and less sense every day. 

The album marks Folds’ first new studio release in eight years, and it’s a bold, timely, cinematic work, one that examines the tragic and the absurd in equal measure as it reckons with hope and despair, gratitude and loss, identity, and perspective.

“There’s a lifetime of craft and experience all focused into this one record,” Folds reflects. “Sonically, lyrically, emotionally, I don’t think it’s an album I could have made at any other point in my career.”
