A Finer Show You'll Never Find
I was looking for a fundraiser to run for the New Jersey State Elks Army of Hope, and having been to dueling piano shows in Texas and Florida thought it would be a great idea to try one here. I contacted several people regarding pricing and availablity, before deciding on New York, NY Dueling Pianos, and I could not have been happier with the outcome. Eddie and Paul put on a show that had the entire audience laughing and singing along. Their knowledge of songs requested ranged from country to hip hop to rock and pop, and they knew how to keep EVERYONE involved. Best of all, as we were doing it for a fundraiser to help our troops and their families they donated back 100% of their tips. That was over 500 dollars they gave back to us. I personally can not wait to book them again, and I know several other people in attendance were raving its the most fun they have had at our Elks Club in years, and wanted to book them for High School Fundraisers.
We have booked national acts, comedy shows, wrestling events, but I've never been to one event where every person in attendance made a point to come up to me and tell me how much fun they had.
If you're going to book a dueling piano show, you would be out of your look to go ANYWHERE else.

Better than a wedding band.
I hired NYNY for my wedding in Baltimore. They started out as background music during cocktails, and then introduced the bridal party. They played light music while we ate, and then were joined by their drummer as they did an all-request dance set. Everyone was dancing and having fun. They brought up the best man and roasted him on stage, and did some funny things with my bridal party as well. I can't say enough about these entertainers. They made my wedding day memorable and fun!! I would hire them again, for sure.

Our show is request driven, and our entertainers can do anything from Buffet, Billy Joel, Elton, LMFAO, Jerry Lee Lewis, Disney, Lady Gaga, Elvis, Bieber, Metalica and just about anything else. The Audience becomes part of the show! It's a clap-a-long, sing-a-long, bang-the-tables-a-long crazy fiesta with roasts, drinking songs, bawdy toasts, and hi-octane comedy.
Our entertainers have rocked audiences all over the world, and continue to do so in New York City, Las Vegas, the Caribbean, Europe, Asia, as headliners for cruise ships and wherever else the party people are. Our client list is private, but we have worked with many Fortune 500 companies to make their events memorable and unique. We feature international headliner quality entertainment, and can travel anywhere.
We are the only NY provider that brings 2 matching polished ebony digital GRAND PIANOS that look and sound amazing. We bring a complete LED stage lighting system and 5,000 Watt sound system that will fill up your space and get the party started.
If you want something a bit smaller in scale, any of our duelers can also do a single person show. Whether it's a house party or a huge convention, we have the show for you!

What to Expect
Typical Gig Duration: 55 - 240 minutes
Extreme fun! The show is request driven, so each show is a different experience. Sing-along to Sweet Caroline, do the special Croc-clap with Crocodile Rock, shake your bootie to Sir Mixalot or sway arm-in-arm with Piano Man. Expect someone to be brought up on stage for an embarrassing roasting in front of God and country! We can do an adults only show, or keep it squeaky clean for the kids. College crowd? No problem, we rock out with current music too. Request slips will be passed out and your guests can walk up and hand them directly to the performers.

Access to two power points on separate circuits at the stage
If you are providing staging, we suggest a min height of 8 inches, maximum of 2.5 feet (with steps).
Additional Notes:
We will work with you to provide the production that is right for your event. We have access to production companies to help out with the sound, lighting and staging as you require.
We work with actual matching ebony digital GRAND PIANOS. This creates a powerful visual for the show and we are the only NY based dueling company that provides this. If your budget doesn't allow for the baby grand shells we can bring just keyboards.
