Dueling Pianos by Fun Pianos…if it isn’t Fun Pianos…it’s just a bunch of songs!
Eighteen Shows In One Weekend
Fun Pianos is proud to say that all of the eighteen dueling pianos shows from last weekend (Dec. 11 and 12) went very well. The Nebraska crowds were delighted with the six shows in Nebraska: Broken Bow, Grand Island, Omaha, Scotts Bluff, Humphrey and Lincoln. There were four shows Deep in the heart of Texas: The Woodlands, San Angelo, Houston and Monahans. To the North in the Dakotas there were shows in Sioux Falls, Jamestown, Fargo and Cedar Rapids. One show was in Rosholt Wisconsin, one was in Oskaloosa Iowa, and there were two in sunny Scottsdale Arizona.
Request-Driven Mega-Interactive hits Jamestown, ND & Scottsdale, AZ
Marc, Jefrey, Sam & Greg entertained two FUNdraisers in vastly different parts of the country Saturday night: Jamestown, ND & Scottsdale, AZ. Both shows raised a lot of money for kids (a hockey fundraiser in North Dakota & a school fundraiser in Arizona). Trust the facts: self-imposed adjectives don’t mean an act is great, facts like clients insisting that they pay us for overtime does! The mega-interactive dueling pianos show in North Dakota was another EARNED hour of overtime! (Arizona had a hard deadline on the venue).
It’s not just dueling pianos, it’s request-driven mega-interactive dueling pianos!
176 Keys Fun Pianos’ takes Request-Driven Mega-Interactive Dueling Pianos Show to North Dakota and Scottsdale
This weekend, Marc & Greg will be rockin’ a hockey FUNdraiser in Jamestown, North Dakota, while Sam & Jefrey do their own request-driven mega-interactive dueling pianos FUNdraising in Scottsale, AZ (http://www.isaz.org/soiree2012.html). Mathematically, everyone in the country is within 2300 miles of either of these open-to-the-public dueling pianos shows, so there’s really no excuse not to join us!
Staff
Sam: Owner Lead Player
It’s easy for Sam to fearlessly work his improv at the Fun Pianos show…he owns the company! Sam cares about leading a good time for the audience, that’s it. One night the audience calls for comedy. Another calls for singalong. Most nights call for both…and then something else unexpected. Now living in Nebraska, Sam also considers North Dakota his second home.
Jason
Jason joined the team in 2018 and has been the workhorse of the staff, on and off stage. He has been a great grab for Fun Pianos and their audiences after long stints at clubs in Houston and Kansas City.
Matt
Matt has toured with Fun pianos for over a decade! A master of creating audience-friendly bits and generating smiles and singalong, after 20 years of singalong in and around Michigan. Matt is a trusted anchor of our staff.
Brandon
Brandon is a positive ball of energy who joined the Fun Pianos staff after the pandemic. After seven years playing in Louisiana and Arizona, Brandon has found a home with Fun Pianos for years to come.
Isabelle
Isabelle is a delight to Fun Pianos and their audiences alike! She attended a show in Nebraska and asked about becoming a player. After a year of training and finishing up her music degree at University of Nebraska-Omaha, she is now touring as a full-time performer with our team.
Shayla – Daily Operations Manager
Shayla Varney made a career move we couldn’t be happier about: Taking on the vital (and endless) tasks of daily operations of the company. Inquiries, contracts, logistics…all need to be done, and that’s before she can move down the list! Since the company’s formation in 2005, only one other person has been entrusted with these roles beyond the owner. Shayla is the perfect person and the perfect fit to keep the company moving as it has been for nearly two decades.
