F.A.Q - Dueling Piano Dames

Would I need to provide pianos?

No – we bring keyboards that sound amazingly like a piano, and other great instruments like acoustic guitar, drums and synth voices. Think “Sweet Dreams are Made of This" for the synth sounds - or a full horn section for "My Old School" or "Knock on Wood."

How much room/power would this take up?

The trio with digital drums can squeeze into a 10’X10’ space. The duo, 10’X5’ would suffice. A corner of your venue works well. One wall outlet is sufficient power for us.

Will it be too loud for my guests to converse?

No. We use a column array system…which is state of the art and can be adjusted easily using an app from our smart phones. Our drummer, if added to the package, uses a digital drum set or sometimes a “cocktail set” which allows for volume control.

Is this a rowdy show where my guests will be made to feel embarrassed?

No! A Dueling Piano Dames-style show is with two women volleying songs that either come off our master list or are requests we’ve been asked to play on one of our request slips. From “Aretha” to “Zep”, from Classics to Today’s Hits is the body of our playlist. The dueling banter is light and fun.

Tell me about the players!

Two ladies -Lori Weber and Julie Slattery- have been in bands most of their lives. Eric Kaleal is our go-to main drummer, a seasoned pro. We also play with a few other excellent drummers who fill in based on availability and location. We play nearly all genres. We are approachable and fun, grateful to be doing what we love, and we patronize our venues.
