And the Charlotte Bobcats tweeted him back.

@benfolds we hear you loud and clear Ben! DM us so we can exchange info and get the ball rolling…

As of 10:45, less than an hour after the first tweet was sent out, the three posts had a combined 400 retweets.

The band released a new CD a few months back, and its single, “Do It Anyway” (which has a really sweet music video) is doing pretty well.

As far as high profile fans, the Bobcats don’t have many, so it wouldn’t hurt to let these guys entertain Charlotte fans for a game or two.
