On Nov. 13, a chilly Friday night, Ben Folds and yMusic—a six person musical ensemble—took stage at the Louisville Palace Theater. 91.9 WFPK, a local radio station, hosted the ensemble and opening band Dotan.
Hailing from Holland, the dutch singer-songwriter Dotan played a transfixing acoustic show for the Louisville audience. Dotan’s raw lyrics encompass honesty and heartache in perhaps it’s purest form. His gut-wrenchingly beautiful songs from his album “7 Layers”lured the audience into a dream-like state. Dotan’s gentle melodies and calm persona set the tone for Folds and yMusic’s performance.
During intermission, the majority of the concert goers spent the 15 minute duration admiring the Louisville Palace’s exquisite architecture.
