Reviews and News From Grafton, ND

AWESOME. We couldn't be more pleased with how everything went. Jason & Matt KILLED it. Thanks so much, everyone loved it! 

The Fun Pianos Show was the best entertainment we could have for our event. We’ve struggled for some years to find the right talent to engage our audience and make the event so fun, and the Fun Pianos did just that. All of our attendees loved it!

Fantastic! They played to the crowd wonderfully.

It was an excellent show! The people who attended thought you guys were so much fun and you were! Thanks again!

Everything went great. The audience really seemed to enjoy the show, and I've had nothing but good feedback so far. Brandon was fantastic and super easy to work with. He was so friendly and personable and received RAVE reviews! The whole process was pretty easy, and I am hopeful we'll be working together again in the future. Thank you!

It went well, it was a great show!

We had such a wonderful time and they were awesome!  Everyone really enjoyed the show and said how much they enjoyed them and that we should have them back again!  😊

I just wanted to let you know that the event went great.  Our people started off “less than engaged,” but your staff got them up and moving and singing and dancing and …   well, it went great. 

Matt did a great job to get people motivated and moving around, and Isabella had an awesome voice and professional demeanor.  It was a great combo.

Thank you!

Everything was great!!  Our donors loved it! 

We were very happy with Brandon's performance. Would highly recommend him.

We could not have been more pleased with the way everything went, starting from your crew making it to town well in advance of our event despite poor weather conditions that even caused some highways to be closed. They were very helpful providing insight and tips on the placement of our spectator tables to maximize crowd interaction while allowing room for people to move freely around if they needed to leave their tables.

As far as the performance itself, the performers we had were Brandon, Isabelle, and Marshall.  They did such an outstanding job throughout the entire evening.  The way they were able to get our crowd involved to the talent they displayed was something that we enjoyed and appreciated so much.

Overall, we would like to give you a very big thank you.  We would absolutely recommend your crew to anyone looking to put on an event, and look forward to possibly working with you again for events we will be having in future years.

Everything went great. The crew did a fantastic job!!! Definitely would recommend this act to anyone. Look forward to having them again.

The event was awesome. People were so complementary about the music the fun the interaction your crew did a fabulous job we really want to thank you it’s the first time we’ve had something like this here and we will look to have more.  Thank you for providing these opportunities the world needs a little levity and enjoyment. 

The Fun Pianos! show was a huge hit at our event center! The show was sold out and the crowd was loving every minute of the entertainment! The performers had guests up on their feet, dancing and moving around and having a wonderful time! We'll definitely be booking 2 shows per year as our guests love seeing these performers!

Ok…this is totally the honest truth….I used to work as a meeting planner.  I’ve hired lots of different kinds of entertainment.  I wish I had known you back then is all I have to say.  Sam was incredible and is incredibly talented too.  To literally take ANY song and be able to play it is an absolute talent.  He had the attention and engagement of the entire room. Every one was entertained and had fun.  I hope we can have him back in some capacity or another.

Thank you for working with me on our event.  Hope to meet Sam again someday soon!
 

Everything went great! Everyone had a great time and totally enjoyed the entertainment!

The Fun Piano’s team did a great job for our Holiday Party, and we would highly recommend them! Our employees and their guests had a wonderful time.

Fun Pianos is a 10! Our group loved their energy and how they engaged the crowd. By the end of the night, 200 people were dancing and singing together and it wasn’t weird at all. 😊 A memorable night for sure. Highly recommend.

Everything was great! Great show! Great guys! People loved it!

We had a great time!! Even in the middle of a snow storm, Fun Piano’s put on a great show.  We had a smaller crowd, but the enthusiasm was the same as if there were hundreds of people!  Thank you very much!!

Fun Pianos Dueling Pianos made our company Christmas Party a huge success!  They were very interactive and the feedback from our guests was the best we have ever had!  The entertainment team was very professional and efficient with their set up and did a great job of getting the crowd excited and involved the entire night!

Oh yes….did we ever have fun!  They are a fabulous team….and wow….can they play!  Entertained for 4 hours!  What a night!  We had so much fun that evening…even with small numbers!  The duo was very talented and were so gifted at coming up with ways to make money for our non-profit organization! That Brandon….wow can he play! Thanks again for providing us a FUN way to raise FUNDS for our facility!  We will definitely be having you guys back in the years to come!

It was a great night! The guys were great….all the customers had a great time, quite a few people told me that was their first time seeing dueling pianos & had no idea what to expect but really enjoyed it!! We raised about $4600 for the FD, we all thought it was great! Thank you so much!!

WE LOVED IT! Not one piece of criticism was mentioned and all Sunday I was hearing from people how much fun they had! Thank you so much!

We have had the Fun Pianos group do the entertainment for our Gala for the last three years. They are wonderful to work with and do everything to ensure a successful and FUN event. The staff is extremely professional and organized, they make the process worry free. Every set of performers has been so talented and brought something different to the show. I highly recommend Fun Pianos and look forward to working with them in the future!

Beyond fantastic and fabulous! Everybody had a blast! Thank you!

My business is in a very small town of approx. 80 people. The Fun Pianos Show has performed in my business numerous times and I have now gone to booking two nights of shows in a row so that everyone in the area can experience The Fun Pianos Show.

When The Fun Pianos Show comes to your community they actually become a friend. Those in the community that have come to the show repeatedly also thinks of them as personal friends. The talent is tremendous. They don’t just play pianos and sing they do a TRUE performance to fit the communities expectations. Every performer including the owner, that has played at my business is very professional but even more so personable to everyone. When they finish a show you feel like you have known them for years.  I have already booked a two night show for 2023. I will continue my working friendship with The Fun Pianos Show hopefully for many years to come.

It went great!

It was great!! Weather caused us a change in the venue, but the boys chipped right in, put on their gloves and helped us move. I sincerely hope that we can get you back soon.

Great!! All positive comments from students and parents.  My observation- kids really enjoyed when they were given things to do and instructions like get up and do a certain dance or clap, etc. Overall great and we’d definitely have them back! Thank you! 

The FUN pianos team was INSTRUMENTAL IN HELPING us CREATE a unique experience for a new fundraising event.  They were detailed, organized and attentive.  The performance was FUN, ENGAGING and MEMORABLE FOR all of our guests - We couldn’t have asked for better entertainment for our event.  

Our guests had an amazingly fun time!

It was a great evening!! Matt and Mark were so professional yet friendly and down to earth. I got so many compliments about the show. And you’ve been so easy to work with, too, Sam!! Can’t say enough good things about you guys! We will definitely be doing this again!
 

It was great! The crowd really enjoyed the show. They did a fabulous job! Thank you!

It was seriously so much fun! Everyone loved it. They can't wait for the next one!

The 2021 Altru Gala had a blast with the Fun Pianos! The performance was high energy and had our guests dancing on the stage and kept the whole ballroom engaged! Thank you for a great night of entertainment!
I have also attached the charitable contribution letters broken in two for a total donation of $1,282, the amount generated from your tips jars at our event.

Thanks again!

Hi Sam - 

It was a great night! We had a great time! They were amazing !!!

Libby

Dang – so much fun!!  We had so many different groups of people attend – they all had a blast!!  From doctors, lawyers to young 20 somethings!! 

Fantastic!!  Another GREAT show!  

Wow does Amy have a stellar voice!!  Jason did great too!!

 

Thanks again Sam, as always - you're company didn't disappoint.

 

Until next time :) 

Thank you to Sam and Amanda for a fun, energetic show!  We had fun from the first note played.  Guests asked for a repeat next year with promises to bring more friends and family.  Thank you for a excellent experience!

I highly recommend Fun Pianos for your event! They are professional, easy to work with, and do everything they can to ensure an excellent show. The show itself is awesome, interactive and hilarious! I have booked with them twice and plan to keep having them back for many years to come.

It was a great night!   Thanks for helping us celebrate ladies night out!

Absolutely excellent!  Could not have been better!  Thank you so much.:)

Everything went perfectly!!! Both singers were amazing and everyone had a great time.  I would like to add that I didn't think we had a group that would be on the dance floor, but the singers were very engaging and the dance floor was filled the whole time they played. Also, guests loved that they could request songs and that the singers knew all the songs requested! I am so glad I went with Fun Pianos for my reception. Thank you so much for everything! 

 

Everything went so well!

It was a fabulous night.

It was great on our end!  I hope your musicians felt the same! 

The Fun Pianos blew our expectations out of the water.  From the first contact with Sam to the live show, everything was perfect.  They are a great and flexible company to work with.  There wasn’t a request too big or too small that they couldn’t accommodate while planning.  The day of the event rolled around, and we couldn’t have asked for a better family friendly event to cap off the great day.  Tons of fun was had by every one of all ages.  We thank you greatly for providing these memories for the community, and we can’t wait to do it again!! 

We had a great show Friday night. Jason and Matt were a huge hit.

We have had such a wonderful comments! I'm sure you noticed nobody really got up and left. :-D Thank you again so much! You were very professional that was another good comment that we got.

Hope to see you soon

Hello!  It was a great weekend! I missed out on Saturday night as I was home sick but I have heard nothing but great comments.  Katie and Matt were wonderful!  Thank you so much for everything!

The Big Red Sam Show from Fun Pianos was entertaining both with his musical talent and sense of humor from beginning to the end of the show. He was so easy to work with from my very first communication to after the show. Employees that attending the evening sung praises for at least a week after the event and claimed that is how an employee party should be. Highly recommend Fun Pianos for any group function!

We had a blast. I heard nothing but good things about the entertainment.  We have quite the crew so I am glad you were able to work with what we had there!

The show was incredible Amy. Very well received by the audience and a fun time for all.

The show was a HIT!! Everyone had great time the guys were super nice. They did amazing job!

Fabulous! Great audience participation. They wanted more!

Oh gosh….it was SOOOO much fun! We were absolutely thrilled with how the performers fundraised for our facility! The entertainment was fabulous also! I don’t think I had one complaint about our night! Overall…it was fabulous!!! Thank you for all your help! I am sure we will be booking you guys again for next fall!

It was awesome! The guys got the crowd going and I had so many people tell me how much fun they had kids too!

The show was FANTASTIC! The performers did an amazing job, so much so that I have had people asking me all week if we are getting them back next year. Also, they donated $980 in tips back to the Foundation at the event! Thank you again for making the process so easy and for providing awesome shows!

The performers were awesome!! I hope we could have them back next year! Yes charge that card.

It was a great evening! Your guys were flat awesome! I heard a lot of compliments about how they handled the crowd of varying age categories with kids there but still had a certain level of adult entertainment value woven in! I thanked the guys and was sincere in my thanks for the job they did. I will be recommending Fun Pianos to people who ask me for entertainment ideas!!!

We thought it was great! Lots of good comments from our employees. Thanks for making it so seamless to put together! And yes, we really enjoyed the performers! Hopefully we will be booking you next year.

AmAzInG! Very fun, interactive and a blast for the attendees. We loved them!

AMAZING!!!! I think 90-95% of the room was engaged the entire 2 hours which is amazing for our group. I have had a tremendous amount of positive comments and new friends were made throughout the evening. I have given our your contact information to several already.

Excellent!! We have had nothing but great comments about the show!! The guys did a fantastic job!!

Everything was great! People are still raving.

It was absolutely amazing! Best holiday party we have ever had! Thank you so much!!!!

Everyone loved the Fun Pianos.  They did a wonderful job keeping everyone involved.  I would highly recommend Fun Pianos for any event even a Wedding.

Thank you for everything! The company had such a great time! Everyone was enjoying themselves and the interaction was awesome. Hats off to the duo for everything they did! I definitely would recommend to others!   Thanks again!

It went well. Lost so f fun thank you for another good year!

We just had Fun Pianos back for the third year in a row. Each year we have had a different team and all had a different show and all were great. This event is so popular that people were asking for tickets before we even had them printed.  Word was out that this as a very fun event and we sold out quickly. Thanks Fun Pianos!!

Amazing!  Fun Pianos by 176 Keys puts on a fantastic show filled with so much fun.  I especially love how much they get the crowd interacting and involved in the show.  What a great fundraiser & night out for our community!  If you’ve never seen a fun pianos show before, you are missing out.

What a fun night!  The players did a fantastic job!!  Those who were there had a blast!

I wanted to say THANK YOU for a fun and memorable evening. I know we had a different crowd, but I have heard from nearly everyone that attended that they loved you guys! Everyone is hoping that you become the regular entertainment for banquets to come.

The show went really well. I received many positives on the players and the whole entertainment package! Both were very professional and easy to work with. Thanks again for all your help, this whole process was very easy!

The show went really well and our team really enjoyed it! I think like most groups, it took them a little bit of time to warm up, but by the end of it they were all having a great time. Your team did a great job!

The evening was such fun! We only had about 130 people there because so many were already in the field. But they did not disappoint ! Hope they also enjoyed the evening ! Thanks for all your help in making arrangements!

Awesome! Fantastic! It was such a blast! We only wish we would have paid for an additional hour! It was great times :) Thanks so much! We will definitely recommend you to everyone we know! Hopefully we will be able to do business again in the future :)

IT WAS AMAZING!!!! Thank you so much!!! We had a blast and they did Wonderful!!

The party was great! Everyone had a blast and really enjoyed themselves. The two performers were absolutely wonderful – they were so fun and did a great job reading the crowd! Thanks again for everything!

The show was awesome - our employees are still talking about it! George and Matt were so talented and easy to work with. I have already told so many people about you, just trying to find another event now so we can see the show again! Thanks for checking in and for an organized, smooth event!

The show went great. We are getting some great feedback from our students. Tell the piano guys that they did an awesome job.

Just a short follow-up from our Volunteer Appreciation event. All went well and smooth! Had many great comments on the Fun Pianos and they really made our event a success! Please share again with Sam my most sincere appreciation in working with us to make this happen. Mari Jo

It was a blast! I’ve heard from several employees that they thought it was our best party ever!

I was not there but once the performance started I had my phone handy in case there were any questions. I received 13 texts and 9 videos from staff stating how fun it was and how great it was going. When I got back the following Monday that was the talk at all 5 salons. Everyone really enjoyed it. In my 17 years of being here we have never had them talk about how great the Christmas party was. So, I would say you nailed it.

It went great! We’ve heard lots of fun feedback about the party as a whole from our staff – so we are very thankful you guys could be a part of it!

It was great! The team was wonderful to work with! It certainly added new and fresh entertainment for our event! Thank you so much!

Awesome. Everyone wants them back!

Wonderful! We had a great time and everyone really enjoyed the guys! Thank you so much and thank them for us.

Everything went great! We have had so many great compliments on the event and the Fun Pianos dueling pianos! I was told by one employee’s wife that when she got home that night, her face hurt so much from laughing. She said it was the best Christmas Party we had ever thrown. Thank you very much for working with us and we would love to have you back another year. I will be in touch.

Well, I’m starting to recover if that tells you anything. We had a BLAST!! One of our guests (a 30-something guy & relative from the East Coast) told me it was the best reception party he had ever been to, ALL things involved, which made me feel great, since I was the main planner, decorator, bottle washer, etc-LOL. The players read the crowd so well & stayed in an extremely appropriate show, with enough child interaction & adult content for the ones that enjoyed that part of it. Both the little ones AND the older guests had a BLAST! They did a great job “M.C.ing” the Grand Entrance, & picking people out of the crowd. That actually took pressure off of me, knowing they would handle all of that! The next day, we had the “worst blizzard” of the winter hit the valley, and we knew it was coming. Some of our guests left early to get back on the road. But those that stayed almost wouldn’t leave – haha!! I’m so glad, in a way, that we did not have any longer of a show. I was satisfied with the length and ready to call it a night by the time the DJ part of the show finished. I couldn’t believe all the dancing that occurred during that part of the night, young and old! Bottom line, AWESOME!! Thank you for to everyone involved for your professionalism, communication skills, talents and personalities! I will recommend you for future events. I hope people can “get past” the cost – what I would say to them is – cut out chair covers, special linens, huge decor, etc and ENTERTAIN YOUR GUESTS!!

We had a great time! I heard nothing but good comments. I could not believe that they got everybody going so quickly. Thank you so much for working with me on this.

We hired 176 Keys as part of a benefit fundraiser in our community. All I can say is ‘WOW’! Sam and George put on an amazing show. I was still working in another building across the fairgrounds when the show started and from the very start I could hear the crowd roaring from far away. This is by far the best entertainment a person or group could hire for their event. Hats off to 176 Keys and thanks for helping to make our event an overwhelming success!

It was great working with you guys and the show was excellent. I have heard numerous compliments in the days after of what a fun time everyone had and didn’t want the show to end. You guys are a class act and we would love to have you back again in the future. The conference was a great success and I directly attribute that to the fun and entertainment you guys provided.

The guys were so awesome! Our crowd had so much fun. I was so impressed and they truly made our event the best in a number of years. Thanks again!

…I run into people they definitely comment on how fun the dueling piano show was! I’ve heard all about “the dueling piano show” from people that didn’t even come to the wedding (so that tells you what people are talking about….small town)! We had a great time, and hope the guys did too.

It was GREAT! Dino and Becca did a really nice job getting everyone involved and kept everybody on their toes. Thank you for the wonderful Christmas Party. Happy Holidays!
