"Fun & Different!"

If you're looking for something fun and different in the way of musical entertainment for your event...
You've found it!   

SHOW FORMAT and "ROASTS"
Dueling Pianos 2GO specializes in creating a lively atmosphere of fun and interaction with your guests.  Our high-energy, all-request, improvisational, sing-along, laugh-along, audience participation show is our most popular format, but most anything you're planning can be worked into the act.  Frequently, for example, we're called upon to offer a musical tribute (a "roast") to one or more people in your group...and we're quite happy to bring them on stage during their song and work them into the act...often with hilarious results! 

ADAPTABILITY
The entertainment program for corporate and private events must target the event's attendees and fit appropriately within the style and theme of the event.  Due to our act's repertoire of over 2000 songs and its many years of experience performing for all types of audiences in a variety of venues, Dueling Pianos 2GO is able to provide music and entertainment services that are very flexible to your needs, including various:
Lengths of Shows  Ranging from a 30-minute power set, to a 3-hour nonstop show.
Styles of Presentation  Ranging from background classical music for an elegant wine social to shin-kickin' country music for a rip-roarin' rodeo party. 
Levels of Comedy  Ranging from G-rated "Disney clean" to R-rated bawdy barroom humor.
Types of Costuming  Ranging from angels to pirates, and from tuxedoes to pajamas.
