Ben Folds (Part 3)

from Beyond the Fame with Jason Fraley Hosted by Hosted by Jason Fraley

Jason Fraley marks the one-year anniversary of Ben Folds resigning as Artistic Advisor to the National Symphony Orchestra after Donald Trump's Kennedy Center takeover, sparking a chain reaction of artist cancellations. Folds joined the show in 2018 to discuss the launch of his Kennedy Center series "Declassified," pairing the NSO with popular musicians like Sara Bareilles and Jon Batiste. We're replaying it today as a reminder of all that was lost and could be again. (Theme Music: Scott Buckley's "Clarion")
