Pianist, songwriter and singer Ben Folds, who is fresh off his recent stint as a judge on a talent show on NBC, has lined some headlining dates up for next month to continue his support of “Way to Normal,” his album from 2008.

The outing will kick off in Myrtle Beach, SC on March 13 and visit 11 cities in the southern US. It will include an appearance on March 25 in Raleigh, NC, where the North Carolina Symphony will back him. Last fall Folds appeared with several symphonies including in Boston with the Boston Pops and Washington D.C. with National Symphony Orchestra.

Folds is continuing to support “Way to Normal,” his third solo set, which was released in 2008. It made it to No. 11 on Billboard’s 200 chart. “You Don’t Know Me,” the lead track that featured Regina Spektor, hit Triple A radio’s Top 30. The song along with a few others are streaming on the MySpace page of Folds.

Dennis Herring (Modest Mouse, Elvis Costello) produced “Way to Normal.” It features Folds along with drummer Sam Smith and bassist Jared Reynolds.

“Ben Folds Presents University A Capella” was released by Folds last spring. It’s a compilation of Ben Fold songs performed by US college vocal troupes. In December Folds was a judge along with Shawn Stockman and Nicole Scherzinger on “The Sing Off,” an a capella competition program on NBC. The series was four parts long and featured eight different a capella groups who performed popular songs to compete for a $100,000 grand prize.
