La Jolla, CA Dueling Pianos

Pianist/Generic Estrada

Chris was on the clear, illustrious path to becoming a small claims insurance adjuster until one day at the bottom of a small creek near San Bernardino he found a lamp, rubbed the lamp, POOF genie. For some reason he first wished to know 3000 songs, second for a beautiful, wiener-ey singing voice, and third for the genie to surprise him with a secret third wish 20 years later. So he had to abandon his adjustment career and start working at the nearest dueling pianos bar. And he\'s got that wish coming down the pipe which is pretty sick.

Pianist/Cat Behaviour Consultant

As an elementary school rug rat, scream-singing down the hallways of my conservative private school, I was often chased by horrified teachers demanding holy silence. Many years later (without the screaming and holy silence) I started exploring the world of dueling pianos and knew I found my performing home.

Pianist

Julian Velard is a classic entertainer - a rare combination of Nilsson-meets-Newman, piano-driven singer-songwriter sensibility and razor-sharp comedic timing. His versatile stage presence makes him equally comfortable in the spotlight or as a sidekick - a modern-day Paul Shaffer. He’s become a cult sensation in America and Europe, and an in-demand performer in his homebase of Los Angeles.

Pianist/Freelance Brain Surgeon

Steven was born in a hipster coffee shop with a full mustache and beanie attached. He then uttered his first words “Ice Lavender Oat Milk for $17, please”. Now he’s a dueler. It’s amazing what coffee does to a person.
