Kansas City Dueling Pianos
The Latest Craze!
One of the hottest new crazes for weddings, charity events, company parties and
corporate events, nightclubs and festivals, Kansas City dueling pianos are
quickly becoming a premier entertainment option. Utilizing the art of crowd
interaction, performing songs that everyone knows, loves and can sing along
with, and most important of all, a completely customizable program format, the
art of Kansas City dueling pianos are becoming a popular choice for events all
over the KC area. Although our city has a lot of excellent live bands, they are
not as personalized and entertaining for all age groups as the dueling pianos.
These multi-talented musicians are known for their skill at performing songs
from every generation, involving the audience, and incorporating comedy into
their performances. Kansas City dueling pianos are able to perform for large
corporate events and galas, and also compact enough to perform for smaller
events like company parties and weddings while keeping the energy at a maximum
throughout the entire performance.
History of Kansas City Dueling Pianos
This unique form of entertainment actually originated in Las Vegas at the famous
New York, New York Hotel and Casino. The first venue to feature Kansas City
dueling pianos was a restaurant in Liberty, Missouri that basically operated as
a large restaurant during the week and then on the weekends they moved some
tables around in an elevated area and featured dueling pianos. The restaurant
closed but one of the piano players that used to perform there decided to start
a corporate dueling piano act. This piano player visited the New York, New York
hotel and casino in Las Vegas to get some ideas on how to work up a good, high
quality act including custom built pianos, a state of the art sound and light
system, and to gather the most requested dueling piano songs. After the Las
Vegas visit, this pianist came back to Kansas City and put together KC's first
dueling pianos act, Roll Over Beethoven. This act began performing for high end
corporate events, charity galas, wedding receptions and company parties all over
the city.
Kansas City Dueling Piano Bars
Right around 2003, a National dueling piano bar chain set up shop in Westport,
becoming the first dueling piano bar in KC. This establishment was moderately
successful and remains open today. A few years later, The Power and Light
District was completed in downtown Kansas City amongst several other bar chains
and restaurants, and they also offered an outdoor courtyard with a main stage
for concerts, etc. This area became very popular with rural visitors, coming in
from small towns like Cameron, Liberty, Oak Grove, Excelsior Springs, Lawson,
Lee's Summit, Blue Springs and Briarcliff. Soon after the Power and Light
District got going in full swing, another National piano bar chain came in and
set up shop in the district becoming the second and last Kansas City dueling
piano bar. Both bars continue to operate to this day with moderate success.
