Join us for Dueling Pianos on July 18 and experience a night where you help run the show!

Pianists Amy Thomason and Billy Ward take the stage for a high-energy, laugh-out-loud show packed with crowd-powered song requests, playful competition, and nonstop entertainment. With two grand pianos center stage, these outrageously talented performers go head-to-head—trading songs, cracking jokes, and somehow seeming to know every song ever written.

This isn’t just a concert—it’s an interactive sing-along party. Shout out your favorite songs, cheer on your side (country vs. rock, men vs. women, and more), and don’t be surprised if you—or your friends—get pulled into the action. Every show is completely different, driven entirely by the audience and the moment.

It’s been called “the most fun you can have with your clothes on,” and once you’re singing at the top of your lungs with a room full of people, you’ll understand why.
