What to Expect
A Dueling Piano show is an all-request, rock and roll sing-along that blends music, comedy, and improvisation to create a totally interactive experience for any type of event, except maybe a bris or a funeral. (Though we're open to anything.)
No two shows are ever the same because the crowd decides the set list. Write down your song on a request slip, put it on the piano, and we'll play it. Whether you're celebrating a wedding, birthday, holiday party, office event, company retreat, retirement, or anniversary, we tailor the show to your particular needs and always hand-pick our players to ensure a perfect musical match for the occasion.
About
Here's how it works: First, we bring our show right to your door, complete with lighting, sound and two custom-built black pianos. Then we belt out an all-request music and comedy show while you and your guests sing along, clap along and laugh along.
Here's how it started: In the fall of 2001, Brad Alexander launched the first ever Dueling Piano show in NYC. Every Friday and Saturday night in the basement of O'Flaherty's Ale House on Manhattan's Restaurant Row, Brad and a small group of piano players faced off on two electric pianos for a four-hour singalong with an audience that grew from 10 to far beyond legal capacity.
From there the show moved through several incarnations and locales over the course of a decade and eventually Brad and fellow performer James Barr formed THE FLYING IVORIES. After opening successful offices in Boston, Philadelphia and Austin, Brad and James crossed paths with legendary dueling pianist Brian Wilk, who now runs Flying Ivories Fort Lauderdale. He's exceptionally talented, charming and professional. You should call him!
