Since launching his solo career in 2001, Ben Folds has toured constantly, alternating between three formats: backed by a rhythm section, backed by an orchestra, and alone on the stage with a grand piano, as he performed Thursday night at The Taft Theatre. 

Savannah Conley is an incredible vocalist who was recently named to Rolling Stone’s “Artists You Need to Know,” and spent the last year touring with everyone from The Head and the Heart, Vance Joy, Anderson East, Brent Cobb, and will be opening for Ben Folds on Thursday at The Taft Theatre. 

Sunday night the Taft Theatre was home to two acts that drew from southern roots and were able to create something exciting and beautiful. Athens, OH’s Caamp and Nashville’s Savannah Conley brought in a large crowd for a Sunday night down below in the Taft. Two very different shows that blended together wonderfully.
