July 29, 2024Dueling Pianos was a hit at our event!
We hired Jason and Dave to play a 300+-person event with attendees' ages ranging from early 20s to late 70s. It can be a challenge to find music to grip an audience that spans so many generations and tastes, but Jason and Dave were up to the task nonetheless.
It was so much fun watching them work the room, raising the vibes and warming people up to the concept of a Dueling Pianos show. They were playful, encouraging guests to request songs while artfully delivering their own renditions of so many great tunes across genres from classic rock to modern hip-hop. People were singing and dancing along for hours.
Jason was such a pleasure to work with - a consummate professional who made each step of the way as easy as possible for us to go through. In a post-event survey, many of our guests noted the Dueling Pianos was a highlight for them.
A Modern Dueling Pianos show is just pure fun. So if you like fun, you won't be disappointed entrusting Jason with the entertainment for your next event.

June 24, 2014Fantastic choice!!!
We hired Jason to play our "after-hours" party in a wine cave for our wedding in Plymouth, CA, and we could not have made a better choice. We were planning across country, and had never heard Jason in person, but after speaking with a couple brides who used him for their entire reception, we were sold. He was superb. He knew so many songs, and was super fun and easy to work with leading up to the event. All of our guests were dancing the entire time and complimented us afterwards about how unique and fun having a piano player was. I would recommend Jason for any type of event!

March 1, 2024Months later, still sore from dancing
We had them perform at our gallery/winery fall release party. It was an absolute blast. They played every song you know every word to and months later I'm still sore from dancing. Hire them! You'll be so pleased. Nicest, most professional people and so talented.

December 6, 2023Looking for someone to make your event memorable?
I hired Jason for my birthday party. Simply put, he made the party. He expertly read the audience throughout the evening, constantly keeping energy levels high and everyone engaged. At times that meant a bit of karaoke, and at others, mashup group sing-a-longs. He even went so far as to customize lyrics to include guests' names in some of the songs. I was concerned the lone youngster at the party would be bored, but Jason managed to continually keep her entertained as well. He started by handing her the mic during the theme of Frozen, and she was captivated for the rest of the evening.
There are lots of options when it comes to hiring entertainment for a party, and Jason falls squarely at the top of the list. Give him a shot for your next event, you absolutely will not be disappointed.

This is the second time our elementary school has used Jason & co for dueling pianos! Jason is easy to work with before the event and very crowd pleasing! He is able to read the crowd and keep things interesting the whole show. We had a blast! Thank you, Jason!

What to expect
Hello, thank you for considering Jason Marion Entertainment, Modern Dueling Pianos for your next event! Whether you need a laid back soft ambiance, or a rocking dance-floor-never-empty type show, we are here to deliver!
For the dueling show, we bring in two grand piano (shells), keyboards, two players/entertainers, 2 sets of 4x LED lights, all sound equipment including a sub-woofer under the pianos. We have drum patches in the keyboards and with a drum machine available, if you wanted this added to the music at any time during the event. An extra microphone will be available for any announcements, speeches et al that needed to be made over our system (we can also make all announcements, if you prefer).
The solo show is the same set-up, minus half the equipment and a cheaper price.
About
Jason Marion is transplant from Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, and has been residing in CA since the late 90s. He developed a knack for music at an early age, and taught himself to play the piano, guitar, bass, keyboard, and till date has written over four hundred songs. He earned his Bachelor's degree in Psychology from California State University Stanislaus, but discovered that music was his greatest calling and passion. He developed a following in California and has opened up for bands such as Starship (Jefferson Airplane), Gary Wright, Ambrosia, Beatlemania, and The Little River band, to name a few. Jason has been entertaining the crowds at both dueling and solo piano show forums for almost two decades, and his eclectic repertoire, energy, singing and comic timing can't be beat. Currently residing in the Sacramento area, he heads the Dueling piano show at Makse in Vacaville, and travels all over the Bay Area, from Sacramento to San Francisco to Danville, performing dueling piano shows. Performing at Wedding and corporate events (NASCAR, YELP, Skywalker Ranch, San Jose Sharks, dozens of wineries) is his absolute favorite, and he aims to make special occasions memorable for you and your guests.
