Uplights, Cameras & Shells, Oh my!
Whether you're months or years away from your wedding date, or you're just counting the days till "I Do", it seems like wedding planning is a never ending barrage of decisions. Our goal with Felix and Fingers Dueling Pianos is to make everything as simple as possible...
Woodwalk Gallery Dueling a “Smash” Hit
On a beautiful Saturday in July, Mike Potts and I headed up to Door County, WI to provide entertainment for the wedding of Jon and Anne-lise D’Angelo. I was excited about this one anyway because I got to bring my guitar, but when we got to Egg Harbor we were even...
The Miracle at Kickapoo Creek
No matter how far in advance we book a wedding, there are almost always some last minute requests and changes to the original questionnaire we send to our brides and grooms. The one we received for the McVey wedding at the Kickapoo Creek Winery in Edwards, IL was a...
Corporate Entertainment For Boring Audiences
No way... You did not just call your co-workers 'boring,' did you? Don't feel bad, you're not alone. Of course we have never called them a 'boring audience.' We just don't see them that way. But there have been countless times that the person in charge of an event...
Dueling Pianos Infographic
Many of our subscribers/visitors might have already read about the history of dueling pianos through an earlier blog that we had posted. It was a rather short, but fun post with a video clip from a well-known movie. "Dueling pianos" has been an evolving term. But I...
Shake It Off Taylor Swift!
Taylor Swift just released a new song and music video entitled "Shake it off". I just saw it and was surprised...though I'm not yet sure if it's for the better or worse. Taylor Swift's music has been a staple of the Dueling Pianos scene with at least one request...
Pontiac Parkpalooza!
Palooza Palooza! Read all about it! Couple weeks back, Fingers and I headed over to play for the second annual Parkpalooza in Pontiac, IL. This was Felix and Fingers' second appearance at the event (if you do the math, that is 100% Palooza exclusivity!) For some...
Hilmerson RV Breaks New Records
This weekend, I traveled up to Little Falls, MN with Dave Radford (the original 'Felix') to perform at a wedding. The wedding was being hosted at Hilmerson RV. Honestly, it was the first time for me to perform at a wedding that was held in an RV showroom. If you're...
Aurora Country Club
I love a good birthday party. Especially when that party is a decked out 60th birthday party (like, to the nines), that hires Felix and Fingers for the event! Even without the roasted rack of lamb appetizers and ice sculpture martini luge, it would have been smashing....
Roscoe’s Tavern Rock N Roll Roadhouse 4th Of July Show
Well, if it's the 4th of July weekend at Roscoe's Tavern, you play Katy Perry's, Firework! It was great to have a full house, and we worked them the entire night to ensure everyone was singing and dancing. Honestly, they were not a hard crowd to work. They came out...
Unbroken Spirits at Broken Oar!
Broken Oar great venue for Dueling Pianos! So, if you haven't heard of Felix and Fingers by now, it's a thing. This post is yet another example of WHY it's a thing. Last Friday we played at the fine establishment known as "Broken Oar." Clever name for a place on the...
Dueling Piano Cancer Fundraiser Lifts Spirits For Patients And Families
Not too long ago, we played for a cancer fundraiser in the town of Kewanee, IL. It's a relatively small town in Western Illinois between Peoria and Moline. It was not our first time to put on a dueling piano cancer fundraiser show, and it is most unlikely to be our...
