Hi Daniel - What a splendiferous party! You and everyone there were so friendly and appreciative of the in-person live music. Thank you for bringing a night of Vegas Dueling Pianos to your sister's backyard. And, let me tell you, the afterhours jam around the piano in the living room was a special kind of fun for us. Thank you, kind sir, for the wonderful review. It was an altogether 5-star experience for us, as well. - All the best, Van

March 6, 2021Van was great throughout the entire process. I would hire him again without question. He truly made me feel like I was his most important client. He was professional and kind.

The Serenaders’ live, variety show format has expanded to include original comedy sketches and virtual “drop-ins” by musical guests, most of whom are friends within the Las Vegas dueling pianos community. Viewers are encouraged to interact with Van, Dave and Melissa via text or Facebook messages, which allows the performers to play audience requests on air, in real-time.

OUR STORY
When the lights went out on the Vegas Strip, musician-entertainers, Van Walraven and David Guidice found themselves sheltering-in-place, along with Van’s girlfriend, Melissa and his sister, Suzy.
BLAME IT ON DAVE’S BIRTHDAY
The idea of the Sofa Serenaders was born on Dave’s birthday, March 21, about a week after the Las Vegas casino shutdown. Wanting to somehow celebrate with his family back home in New York, Dave, Van and Melissa pooled their knowledge and their devices, and streamed a virtual, live birthday party – complete with cake and candles – clear across the country. Not only did Dave’s family enjoy the experience, but so did the 400 others who crashed the party!
SATURDAYS AT SEVEN
Since that first webcast, the Sofa Serenaders have entertained audiences around the globe every Saturday at 7pm (Vegas time). Each week’s episode expresses an uplifting message, based on a song title, such as The Bare Necessities, Joy to the World, Another Saturday Night in Vegas (a Sofa Serenaders parody), Lean on Me, and Happy Together.
For our virtual shows, all you would need is any of the many web conferencing platforms currently in use. Utilizing that platform, we will stream directly to you and your invited guests only. The interaction and song requests will be completely personalized and done in real-time… so it’s as close as it gets to having the Serenaders over to play for you in person!
Once health guidelines allow, we can bring our "Direct from Las Vegas!" show to you, in-person, nearly anywhere in the US and Canada. We are a self-contained act; and as needed, we can provide the pianos, the sound and the lighting for our show.
