Wedding Ceremony Processional Music Suggestions
Planning a wedding is hard, and when every choice seems more important than the last, a lot of pressure naturally falls on picking the perfect tune for walking down the aisle. After all, this is your big moment - your grand entrance! Let me take some of the pressure...
All-Request Private Piano Party
Things weren't quite as usual for Felix and Fingers in Barrington Hills last week. Felix was there, but Fingers was nowhere to be found. Or was it the other way around? The truth is, I ditched my alias (whether it be Felix or Fingers,) as this party had requested...
Saint Patricks Day Entertainment
St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner (that is, if you plan ahead.) We suggest you do. It's a busy holiday, and finding the right entertainment for your event or party could leave you with limited options if you wait too long. Felix and Fingers Dueling Pianos...
Strike! Dueling Pianos at Pinstripes!
Pinstripes has leather chairs AND dueling pianos!? Ok, so here's how it all went down. First, we arrived at the location where we store our wonderful trailer, affectionately named "Audrey." After shoveling her out of the snow, we drive to the venue. It's called...
That Bar Mitzvah Mosh Pit Song
What? You don't know that song? Don't worry. In all fairness, there is not just one song that might be played during the traditional chair lift, or as people dance to the Hora (a circular dance,) or even during a mosh pit. Yes, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs can get really crazy,...

Felix and Fingers visited the beautiful Park Place banquet facility in Crystal Lake, IL to add some spice to HR Green engineering's holiday party! I had never been to this venue, but Dave was really excited to play here because he'd actually had his wedding reception...
Fisher Controls Unable To Stump Dueling Pianists At Corporate Event
Ok. I can't really say 'all' the songs, because we simply ran out of time and had so many requests come in. However, before the show, a few gentlemen hinted that they would be trying to stump us. Having played with Mike Sherman on many occasions, I knew he welcomed...
Why Have A New Year’s Eve Wedding?
There was clear blue water, bathing suits, tropical drinks, yet here we were in the middle of Iowa on New Year's Eve. The wedding ceremony began in Florida, but when it was time to come home, I suppose they weren't ready to get away from the water. Besides, the...
Some of My Favorite Dueling Pianos Requests to Get
Sometimes a request comes up and I'm excited to get it. Believe me... there are plenty of songs that I'd rather eat a stapler than play (cough....Don't Stop Believing....cough), but there are a lot of songs that make me smile when they get requested. Here are a few...
The Hellman Holiday Party at the Brown Bottle Gets Crashed!
Now I've been playing piano for a long time. I've played at bars, restaurants, weddings, corporate functions, bar mitzvahs, bachelorette parties, and private parties galore. This was the first event I ever played that rocked so hard that the party next door snuck...
A Harry Caray’s Dueling Pianos Holiday Party
Emily and I played a great dueling pianos show at Harry Caray's restaurant on December 14th for Press America. We had one goal for the night: get people to dance! We were told that this would be a difficult task. Our client told us they weren't really a dancing...
Prime Anthes Auto Auction Shows Dueling Pianos
On our crazy run of holiday shows, we recently found ourselves for the second year running in Akron, Ohio playing for the Akron Auto Auction at Prime Anthes. Say that five times fast. For whatever reason, the owner of the company just can't seem to get enough of us....
