You're right that Folds has a monstrous track record, both as leader of '90s piano-pop sensations Ben Folds Five (actually a trio) and then with his generally indistinguishable solo records, but forget about both for now. Instead, let's talk about the gimmick: Recent shows have included an ode to Merton the ChatRoulette pianist, in which Folds likewise signs onto the randomized videoconferencing site to improvise songs about the people he meets. So if you can't get tickets fr tonight, log on and cross your fingers.
