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,...
Park Place Banquet Facility Hosts Dueling Pianos
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...

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....
New Years at McGonigal’s Pub!
Felix and Fingers took the stage at McGonigal's Pub last Tuesday for what became an awesome New Years celebration! We played upstairs in a decorated private area, packed with folks, young and old, eager for some dueling pianos! For this special event, there were...
Pontiac Elks Country Club Rings in 2015 with Wedding Bells!
New Year's Eve is always a busy day for Felix and Fingers, but I think last night took the cake! As we prepared to ring in the New Year, all of us were playing somewhere in the Midwest. Dave and I were lucky enough to ring in the New Year in Pontiac, IL at the...
All Country Music On Piano For Tate & Lyle
Felix and Fingers played all over the midwest this December for holiday events. One of our holiday stops this December was for Tate and Lyle's company party at the Decatur Conference Center and Hotel! Sporting our new trailer, affectionately named Audrey, we rolled...
