About

Why book a Half of Dueling Pianos Show?

1) Half the Price! All the Impact...of world class dueling piano entertainment.
2) Typically bands are not interactive and play just a few of the songs people really want to hear.
3) DJ's have a lot of songs they can play with flashing lights.
4) Magicians & hypnotists are fun for 30 minutes, but then typically get boring.
5) Vegas nights are also fun but it gets old.

I'm Sure you see the trend here....

Other forms of entertainment are 1 dimensional...
Not a Half of Dueling Pianos Show!

Corporate Event:

"Spike!

I just want to tell you that everyone was still raving about the show this morning. They Loved it! And I think the 75 min time frame you suggested for your show, plus having the stage in the center of the room was just perfect and helped our event be a Huge success!

Thanks Spike, you made everything very easy."

Corporate Party:

"Spike,

I just wanted you to know how much fun myself and everyone else had at the conference in January. I have been going for a lot of years and can not remember a better time. You had everyone in the place up singing and dancing! It was great fun. I know that all of our agents really enjoyed it. Several commented that were the best entertainment we have ever had in Salina! You may have only been one half of dueling pianos, but it was more exciting and rocking than any full dueling pianos act I've ever seen!

It was an incredible performance and greatly diversified in the styles and music selection. Your suggestion of a 60 min show followed by the 30 min. of interactive DJ hits, then you finishing up the last half hour with your remarkable ability to sing and sound like a band to dance us out the door! It was the perfect complement to the 2 plus hours of background ipod music you played before your performance started. It kept everything fresh and exciting from beginning to end.

We will have you back! Great Job! Marcia"

Wedding Reception:

Josh Kayser / Ashley Meyers - Wedding reception – "As a bride that likes to party and dance I was looking for something different for my reception. I didn't want just another DJ that stands silently and plays songs off his iPod. I wanted and needed interaction and entertainment that would guarantee a good time for everyone; Spike nailed it!! I knew the cost was going to be considerably more than the DJ route, but one of the most important aspects of a memorable reception is the entertainment, and it was the best value for the money of my whole wedding experience!

It wasn't 5 minutes after Spike took that stage that the entire dance floor was packed. There wasn't a moment where the dance floor and area surrounding the stage was empty. Whether Spike had them singing, doing funny things or dancing, I've never been to another wedding reception where I've seen so many people having so much fun. After the reception I received numerous compliments from guests stating it was the best reception they've ever been to, including me. And for as long as I can remember I've always had one requirement for my reception and that was for people to dance and have fun. Spike came through and made my reception into what I had always imagined. This wedding reception will be hard to top!!

I would recommend Half of Dueling Pianos to anyone who wants to put on a good party. Spike was Awesome!"

Do Not confuse Half of Dueling Pianos with a "solo"act!

Half of Dueling Pianos Show is full impact, kick your butt dueling pianos based act.

Spike is a Master Entertainer, Musician & Vocalist!!!

You'll do a double take when you hear him sing Michael McDonald, Joe Cocker, Ray Charles, Led Zepplin or Frank Sinatra songs. Then he can turn around and blow you away with country hits, sounding like Garth Brooks, George Strait etc....

Spike's Multi Dimensional Approach keeps it fresh!!!!
From years of experience I’ve found that too much of any one thing gets boring - I. E. playing mostly Billy Joel/ Elton John piano type songs for the entire event—So having the ability to sound and feel like an entire band, several years ago I added that dimension to my usual dueling pianos and comedy show…(it was a huge success). Then seeing over and over that later in All events the audience loosened up and was willing and ready to dance, sing and possibly get on stage; But they needed that undeniable and recognizable song (not just plucked out on piano, but the original) that made them jump up and start singing and dancing...… So I added incredibly interactive DJ hits to the show and it took the whole event to another level. That is Multi Dimensional and Fresh!

He gets the audience involved - from having them sing along or making them get up to sing along to roasting someone having a birthday or getting married. It's just like dueling pianos - except the crowd is "the other guy"-- Incredible!!!!

Testimonials

Spike was such a great addition to our Spring Convention. The group loved
his performance and his ability to drive energy into the crowd was amazing.
We are having him back in the fall so he can work his magic again! He just
might become a permanent fixture for this hardware business!
