Bay View proudly announces Emmy-nominated, multi-platinum selling pianist and singer-songwriter Ben Folds will return to the historic John M. Hall Auditorium stage on Friday, June 28, 2024, at 8 p.m. Folds will bring the return of his popular “Paper Airplane Request Tour” after first performing in Bay View in 2018 to a sold-out crowd.

What initially began years ago as a request for songs as encores will once again be a central element in Folds’ shows when he engages audiences to make their song requests via paper airplanes.

“The last time I did this on tour the response was overwhelming, with literally hundreds of paper airplanes with song requests being launched on cue from fans at the start of the second half of each of my concerts,” said Folds. “It’s the purest, most low-tech form of engagement that creates a special bond with my audiences.”

The chart-topping songs of Creedence Clearwater Revival will ring through the rafters of historic John M. Hall Auditorium stage on Saturday, July 6, 2024, at 8pm as the band Revisiting Creedence performs as part of the annual Crouse Visiting Artists Series.  

“We are very excited to welcome a band with such a storied history to Hall Auditorium. Creedence Clearwater has so many top 10 singles, everyone is familiar with their music,” Bay View Artistic Director Chris Ludwa said. 

Dan McGuinness and Kurt Griffey toured the world performing with original Creedence Clearwater Revival members and Rock & Roll Hall of Famers in Creedence Clearwater Revisited for ten years. Now they’ve been passed the torch continuing and celebrate CCR’s musical legacy, live in concert as Revisiting Creedence.
