Walk into any place with live music and just observe for a minute. Look around at the people. Look at the performers. I can tell you what you see - people of all kinds engaging with the music! Whether it be directly singing at the top of their lungs, or tapping their foot as they have a conversation with friends, everyone engages with music! Music SPEAKS to people!
Personally, I love music! But you know what I don't love? CROWDS! So my solution to immerse myself in music, yet avoid crowds, is to bring the music to my own venue! The Gathering Place is typically a wedding venue; however, we do host many other parties! December has become customary for hosting our friends: Felix and Fingers, for a fun night of energetic dueling pianos, as we bring them here for a Christmas show!

What is Dueling Pianos?
Dueling pianos is a lively form of entertainment where two talented pianists face off against each other, playing a mix of popular songs, classic hits, and audience requests. Sometimes the performers work together and poke fun as both of them play duets. The atmosphere is electric, as the performers engage with the crowd, encouraging sing-alongs and even some friendly competition. This interactive experience is perfect for all ages and musical tastes, and everyone always has a great time.
