Watertown, SD - Thursday, January 11th, 2024
I don’t know what they guys will say about the event, I don’t know what a typical Thursday night is like but…..
-I was the first employee to arrive and introduced myself to the guys. FIRST IMPRESSION is everything and they were so wonderful, warm, welcoming, and appreciative.
-They were a great help with the mic system when we needed to make announcements (believe me, that is a big deal when you don’t deal with that stuff)
-The crowd interaction was AMAZING!!!!!! The crowd seemed very engaged up until the end. Some people left early but the ones that stayed were involved until the end.
-Brandon and Matt sat with us during supper and our spouses and other guests also enjoyed their company. They were very personable.
-Their talent is amazing.
-The venue owner commented this was WAY better than who they usually get and she was on your website already. I let her know how fantastic you were to work with.

Brandon and Isabelle from the Fun Pianos brought a unique blend of entertainment, humor, and musical expertise that resonated with all our guests at our Christmas party. The lively and interactive performance had our guests engaged from the first note. They were not just skilled pianists but great entertainers. The event planning process was seamless and were very accommodating. I would highly recommend Fun Pianos for any event or gathering.

Latest News from Sioux Falls, SD
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.
Another successful weekend of FUN shows in Big Lake MN, York NE, Sioux Center IA, Lincoln NE, Finley ND, Virginia Beach VA, Tampa FL, Ogallala NE, Aberdeen SD, Sleepy Eye MN, and Sioux Falls SD.
We had a FUNtastic time in all the different places we performed last weekend. With 6 teams, we can cover a lot of ground. We would love to add your town to our list of “Played There” locations. Contact us to find out what great deals we have in your area.
Thanks to Big Lake MN, York NE, Sioux Center IA, Lincoln NE, Finley ND, Virginia Beach VA, Tampa FL, Ogallala NE, Aberdeen SD, Sleepy Eye MN, and Sioux Falls SD for helping make our dueling pianos show the most requested travelling piano show in the country! Our fans make our job even more FUN!
Holiday parties are in full swing! Sioux Falls SD, Orlando FL, Dallas TX and Des Moines IA… just to name a few!
We had a FUNtastic time last week getting to help so many towns and companies celebrate the holidays with our FUN PIANOS dueling pianos show. This season is a wonderful opportunity to give generously of our time, talents and gifts to people that are less fortunate than ourselves. We have also been a part of some amazing fundraisers for communities as well as private fundraisers for individuals dealing with unimaginable circumstances. We feel grateful to be able to be a part of making the holidays FUN and memorable for everyone.
Silent Night in Fargo ND, Sioux Falls SD, Madison WI and Dallas TX? Nope. Not on our watch!
Fun Pianos by 176 Keys Dueling Pianos has never been accused of being too quiet! As a matter of fact… we like to have so much FUN, we can hardly contain it. We are taking our show to 15 different events in the next 4 days! We are going to haul out the “jolly” in everyone! Check out some fun facts about “Silent night”…
Silent Night (1818)
Words: Josef Mohr
Music: Franz Xaver Gruber
Arguably the world’s most popular Christmas carol comes in several different translations from the German original. It started out as a poem by the Austrian Catholic priest Father Josef Mohr in 1816. Two years later, Mohr was curate at the parish church of St Nicola in Oberndorf when he asked the organist and local schoolteacher Franz Xaver Gruber to put music to his words.
An unreliable legend has it that the church organ had been damaged by mice, but whatever the reason, Gruber wrote it to be performed by two voices and guitar. It was first performed at midnight mass on Christmas Eve 1818, with Mohr and Gruber themselves taking the solo voice roles.
Its fame eventually spread (allegedly it has been translated into over 300 languages and dialects) and it famously played a key role in the unofficial truce in the trenches in 1914 because it was one of the only carols that both British and German soldiers knew.

176 Keys Fun Pianos Request-Driven, Mega-Interactive Dueling Pianos Takes the Stage in Sioux Falls, SD!
January 23, 2013 Sioux Falls, SD
MetaBank celebrated the holidays in January this year. 360 people converged on the El Riad Shrine in Downtown Sioux Falls. Prior to having 176 Keys Fun Pianos at their annual parties they tried gambling, magicians….Never again! It’s looking like an annual event in the making. The crowd was involved and there was tons of group participation. To paint the picture, the CEO was ‘riding’ around the audience on his imaginary horse. He didn’t even mind if someone slapped him on the backside! Now, that’s a FUN party!
