Corporate Party | Fun Pianos dueling pianos show
Lincoln, NE - Saturday, April 29th, 2023
The whole evening was a blast. I have heard so many fantastic comments about the entertainment. Everyone loved it. Many spouses of employees said our celebration have put some of their events to shame. Brandon and Isabelle were absolutely wonderful to work with. They were both so energetic and did a great job of including the crowd. I think that part especially helped steal the night! Their teamwork was just amazing!!!

Sorry for the slow response… we took on vacation for a week right after our clinic week wrapped up.
Everything went amazing, the players were awesome – the feedback was great, and I think the venue is perfect for the size of crowd we had.

Lincoln, NE - Wednesday, July 28th, 2021
The Fun Pianos crew arrived ready to go with a ton of energy. It was a difficult evening – the hottest and most humid night thus far in 2021. The conditions didn’t stop the fun and entertainment. The crowd grew in energy and interaction due to the quality of performance and the non-stop fun by Fun Pianos. You can tell they truly have fun in entertaining people. Another popular phase used by many to describe Fun Pianos – extremely talented! We will book again in 2022!

Latest News from Lincoln
The 84-day month
(From Owner/Lead Player Sam Ferguson):
I have lately been keeping a bit of an online journal for my friends on Facebook, and someone suggested this might be interesting for our clients and friends as well. Here it is. 🙂
I’ve been at it at the “hotel office” for a few hours, and will be for a few more before the 8-hour commitment of setup + wait around + show + teardown here in Grand Forks. (Dueling Pianos by Fun Pianos has taken off here the past few years).
After the show, we’ll be packing up for getting back on the road for an afternoon show Fun Pianos dueling pianos show in Lisbon ND for a Veterans Home. In the morning we head on to Pierre SD, where we’ll stay tomorrow and Thursday night so I can have a full day of hotel office time without travel. (Thankfully my in-office staff takes care of everything our clients need whether I am in or not).
Friday begins the homestretch of the 10-day week within the 84-day month: 5 hours to Alliance NE for a show, then 6 more to do the Fun Pianos dueling pianos show in Lincoln NE Saturday.
Thankfully I get to sleep at home Saturday night…half the time I half to spend Sunday getting home (something every other player on staff has to do more weeks than me, where they are spread out through the country).
This morning my wife sent me some pictures showing love the fur babies are receiving from our friend’s human kids. She takes great care of these kids while I’m gone, but she will tell you that these kids really love them up. Pictures and FaceTime help me get through the 14-17 hour days on the road during a stretch like this.
December 2016: Oh What a Month!
What a month we had in December this year. If you can keep up, here’s where we entertained with Fun Pianos dueling pianos:
Kansas (Wichita [twice], Manhattan, Ottawa, Overland Park, Hutchinson)
Texas (San Antonio, Austin and San Angelo)
North Dakota (Two times each in Fargo and Bismarck)
West Virginia (Wheeling)
Nebraska (Kearney, Omaha [three times], Lincoln, Norfolk, York, Schuyler)
Illinois (Decatur)
South Dakota (Sioux Falls, Mitchell)
Minnesota (Jackson)
Iowa (Centerville, Cedar Rapids)
Colorado (Denver)
Dueling Pianos by Fun Pianos…if it isn’t Fun Pianos…it’s just a bunch of songs!
Fun Pianos duels out of summer into fall
Different areas of the country have different trends, something we’ve noticed in 14+ years of serving the Fun Pianos! by 176 Keys Dueling Pianos show throughout the entire country.
One things that is consistent everywhere, from Phoenix to Nebraska to Illinois, Florida and everywhere else is that summers are slower than the rest of the year. This is not to say we have nothing to do: weddings, county fairs, and other community events happen every week. But while folks in Phoenix want to get out of the sweltering heat, People in Iowa and Minnesota want to hit the water, North Dakota friends want to get together while they have a few weeks of sun…the events we play in the summer are generally the community and family minded events of weddings and festivals.
With fall comes the return of college events (including Texas and South Dakota in a couple weeks), corporate engagements and more of the full list of events we’ve been playing for well over 10 years.
This weekend, we’re spreading our roster to Tucson, Chadron Nebraska, Beatrice Nebraska, Sedalia Missouri, and Reinbeck Iowa. After more shows in Canton Illinois and Rough Kentucky next week, we have a very busy week, with shows every day but Wednesday in Cincinnati, Rapid City, Kearney, Bloomington Indiana, Okoboji Iowa, west Texas, Madison Wisconsin and Woodland Hills (north of Los Angeles and Hollywood). With a small break when we have just one holiday weekend show (a wedding party in Plymouth Nebraska, outside of Lincoln), we’re back at it the next week, hitting Colorado, Kansas, Williston North Dakota and Omaha.
Summer is coming to close, and the “real new year” is about to begin: School, Fall, Football…and Fun Pianos!
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.
