AM Entertainment is based right here in Roanoke, and we've been entertaining audiences throughout Roanoke, Salem, Vinton, and Virginia's Blue Ridge for years. Our high-energy, audience-driven dueling piano shows bring guests into the performance through song requests, sing-alongs, and plenty of opportunities to become part of the show.

​

While our roots are local, our experience reaches far beyond the Roanoke Valley. Our performers have entertained audiences across the country and aboard cruise ships, and we work with a hand-picked roster of talented musicians who bring that same level of experience and energy to every event. With thousands of songs spanning every generation, each show is shaped by your guests and completely unique.

​

Whether you're planning a wedding, corporate event, fundraiser, private party, or a night out, our goal is simple: to give your guests an experience they'll actually remember—not just put two pianists on a stage.

​​

LOCAL EXPERIENCE YOU CAN TRUST

​

We know Roanoke because we actually perform here. 

 

AM Entertainment has produced and performed dueling pianos, solo piano bar entertainment, live band karaoke, and Elton John tributes at many of the area's most recognizable event venues.

​

Our local experience includes recurring shows at Corned Beef & Co. since 2023; The Hotel Roanoke & Conference Center, where we've performed more than 25 times, including producing events for clients in their event spaces as well as performing directly for the hotel; Rosie's Gaming Emporium in Vinton, Sunnybrook Venue, The Maridor, Charter Hall, the Berglund Center, Hidden Valley Country Club, Ballyhack Country Club, Roanoke Country Club, Six and Sky Rooftop, The Hatch, and the Patrick Henry Hotel.

​

We've also performed at private residences, active and assisted living communities, and private events throughout the area that aren't publicly listed.

​

These aren't venue names we're listing simply because they're recognizable Roanoke locations. They're places where our performers have actually entertained Roanoke-area audiences. That local experience matters when you're choosing entertainment because we understand the venues, the audiences, the event environment, and what it takes to make an interactive show work in our home market.

​

LOCALLY GROWN, NATIONALLY KNOWN

​

If you've searched for dueling pianos in Roanoke, you've probably seen companies that appear to serve the area even though they're based hundreds or even thousands of miles away. Many of these are legitimate national entertainment companies, but they don't have a local presence anywhere near Virginia. They market and sell shows here, then contract with performers in their network to produce them locally. I've personally performed for several of the major national dueling piano brands, so I know this model from both sides.

​

The dueling piano world is a much smaller community than you might expect for something so popular. There are only so many experienced dueling piano performers nationwide, and AM Entertainment has relationships with many of the same freelance musicians that the major national companies use. In other words, booking a national brand doesn't necessarily give you access to a different or better pool of performers. We often have access to the very same musicians. And in addition to that shared talent pool, we have performers who work directly with AM Entertainment and aren't part of those national companies' rosters.

​

So you don't have to choose between local and national-level talent. With AM Entertainment, you get a local company with access to the same nationwide pool of experienced performers—plus relationships with talented musicians who work directly with us.

​

DUELING PIANOS FOR ROANOKE EVENTS

​

For dueling pianos near Roanoke, AM Entertainment can bring the party directly to your venue. We handle more than just the performance: our production includes professional audio, portable pianos, customizable lighting, and experienced entertainers who know how to read an audience and keep the energy moving.

 

Our Roanoke-area experience ranges from recurring public shows to weddings, corporate events, fundraisers, private celebrations, and large-scale venue events. Because we are local, you can talk directly with the people actually involved in putting your entertainment together and build the show around your date, venue, audience, and event.

​

Whether you're looking for entertainment for a wedding reception, corporate gathering, fundraiser, holiday party, private celebration, or another special event, the show can be shaped around the people you're bringing together. Guests can request songs, sing along, interact with the performers, and help determine where the night goes.

​

And because our performers draw from thousands of songs and decades of music, the show works for a wide range of ages and musical tastes. The result isn't a set playlist or a rehearsed concert—it's a live experience that develops around your guests.

​

MORE THAN JUST DUELING PIANOS

​

Dueling pianos may be what we're best known for, but AM Entertainment can provide other entertainment options when your event calls for something different—or something more.

​

Our services include solo piano bar entertainment, live band karaoke, Elton John tribute performances, and other live music options. We can also help provide entertainment for different portions of the same event, from background music during dinner or cocktails to high-energy entertainment and dancing later in the evening.

​

That means you can work with one entertainment company to create an experience that fits the entire event rather than trying to coordinate multiple performers separately.

​

A ROANOKE COMPANY WITH A MUCH BIGGER REACH

​

Being based in Roanoke is an important part of who we are, but it isn't the limit of what we can offer.

​

Our performers have worked throughout Virginia, across the country, and aboard cruise ships. We bring that broader experience back to our home market, while maintaining the local knowledge and personal relationships that come from actually living and working here.

​

For a Roanoke-area client, that combination matters. You get a company that understands your community and your venues, with access to performers who have entertained audiences well beyond the local market.

​

Local enough to know Roanoke. Experienced enough to bring something bigger to it.
