On November 1, 2025, Rockford’s Tebala Event Center buzzed with energy as Felix And Fingers Dueling Pianos delivered a fundraiser event that efficiently blended nostalgia and live entertainment for a truly unforgettable evening. The community united to support an essential cause, as the event benefited the Carpenter’s Place Homeless shelter—a mission enhanced by the generosity of Great Fasteners, the local company behind the fundraiser.
Event Highlights and Nostalgic Vibes
The fundraiser was far from your everyday dueling pianos gig. Embracing a bold 50’s sockhop theme, guests dressed in eye-catching poodle skirts and leather jackets, turning the venue into a dynamic flashback to the best era of dance and music. Felix And Fingers delighted the audience with an exceptional setlist featuring popular tunes from the 50’s and early 60’s—the kinds of songs that don’t always make the rotation, making it a rare treat for the crowd. Adding to the fun, a twist competition got everyone moving, with a $100 gift card awarded to the night’s standout dancer. This mix of live performance, retro style, and engaging competition made it an unforgettable experience for all who attended.
