A Corporate Lunch in Leawood with a Playlist Twist
Felix And Fingers Dueling Pianos brought an upbeat midday soundtrack to a recent corporate event at Busey Bank in Leawood, Kansas, on October 21, 2026. The setting was professional, welcoming, and perfectly suited for an afternoon where guests could enjoy lunch, mingle comfortably, and ease into the day’s program with live music setting the tone.
What was expected to be a quieter corporate lunch quickly became something more memorable thanks to a lively round of guest requests. Instead of background music alone, the room leaned into the fun of dueling pianos, with attendees helping shape the playlist in real time. That is one of the reasons Felix And Fingers works so well for corporate events: the entertainment can start elegant and easygoing, then shift effortlessly into crowd-driven moments when the room is ready.
At Busey Bank, the requests brought plenty of personality. “Pink Pony Club,” “Free Bird,” and “Stairway to Heaven” all found their way into the afternoon, creating a mix that was anything but predictable. One guest in particular made sure the classic rock corner was well represented, requesting both “Stairway to Heaven” and “Free Bird,” two songs that never fail to spark a reaction when they appear in a dueling pianos set.
The result was a corporate event that felt relaxed but never flat. Guests had space to talk and enjoy their meal, while the music added a sense of shared experience. For companies planning a luncheon, networking event, client appreciation gathering, or employee celebration in Leawood, this kind of flexible entertainment can be the difference between a standard event and one people remember.
Charcuterie, Conversation, and Crowd-Favorite Requests
A standout detail from the afternoon was the impressive charcuterie spread. A large kitchen island was filled from corner to corner with a beautifully arranged selection that immediately caught attention. The scale and presentation made it more than just a lunch feature; it became part of the event experience, encouraging guests to gather, graze, and connect.
The charcuterie setup paired naturally with the flow of the entertainment. As attendees moved through the space, chatted with colleagues, and enjoyed the spread, Felix And Fingers provided music that supported the atmosphere without overpowering it. That balance is especially important at corporate events, where the entertainment needs to energize the room while still allowing for conversation.
As the event continued, the guest requests added a welcome spark. “Pink Pony Club” brought a fresh, playful note to the afternoon, while “Free Bird” and “Stairway to Heaven” gave the performers a chance to lean into big, recognizable musical moments. For a corporate lunch, that variety kept the room engaged and gave guests moments to smile, sing along, or simply enjoy the surprise of hearing such an eclectic playlist.
Ashleigh delivered a great version of Rihanna’s “We Found Love,” adding a polished pop highlight to the set. The song fit neatly into the afternoon’s mix, giving the event a contemporary lift and showing how Felix And Fingers can move from classic rock to modern favorites without missing a beat. That range is one reason dueling pianos remain such a strong choice for audiences with different ages, tastes, and musical memories.
Big Vocals, Piano Chops, and Why the Format Worked
One of the most memorable moments came during “Stairway to Heaven,” performed by Jordan. His version became a highlight of the event, showcasing both an impressive vocal range and serious piano chops. Hearing a song that iconic reimagined in a live dueling piano format gave the room a special moment that felt spontaneous and tailored to the audience.
That performance also captured what makes Felix And Fingers unique. The show is not built around a rigid setlist; it is built around the people in the room. When a guest requests a song like “Stairway to Heaven,” the performers can transform it into an event moment, reading the crowd and delivering something that feels personal, polished, and fun.
The overall feel of the afternoon at Busey Bank was smooth, welcoming, and easy to enjoy. The music complemented the luncheon rather than competing with it, and the requests gave the event just enough surprise to keep the energy moving. For a corporate gathering, that is a winning formula: guests can network, dine, and enjoy live entertainment without the schedule feeling crowded or forced.
