Dueling Keys

Our goal is to make the audience as much a part of the show as the players.

Owner & key player, Dan Satterberg is a native of Minneapolis, Minnesota and has been a musician all of his life. He attended Berklee College of Music for a while and later completed a double major in theater and studio art from St. Cloud State. Being both classically-educated and taught by ear, Dan developed a soulful Elton-John-meets-Herbie-Hancock piano style accompanied as a clear singing voice. He's "paid his dues" in a fair share of bands including the Prince formed and Warner Bros. signed band "Mazarati". Dan has performed at clubs such as Little Ditties, City Streets, That Bar, Swinging Door, Heart & Soul, Cedar Rapids Piano Lounge and others as well as corporate events, colleges, weddings and casinos nationwide.

All our DK entertainers have performed in bands and are fully aware that bands are for listening and often times act as a backdrop. Karaoke is interactive, however, not everybody is comfortable enough to attempt Bon Jovi’s ‘Living on a Prayer’ or Lady GaGa’s ‘Paparazzi’ in front of anyone without inordinate and consequential amounts of tequila. This is where Dueling Keys stands on its own because DK is as musical as any band and actually more interactive than karaoke can ever claim to be. Dueling Keys blends theater production, with a dash of stand-up comedy and loads of sing-a-long, clap-a-long fun.
