Question 1

How much do you charge?

Accepted Answer

Since every show is custom designed around your event and entertainment goals, there's no way to directly answer this question without talking to you about your celebration first. We take many things into account when calculating your price quote, with the largest factors being these:
The number of players on stage
Total time including travel, set up and tear down - not just performance hours
Travel and lodging expenses for each player
Amount and type of equipment we need to bring

Question 2

How far do you travel?

Accepted Answer

I've been everywhere, man! I hope you sang that in your best Johnny Cash voice. We'll go anywhere, quite literally. If it's not in driving distance, we can have a local company provide the heavy equipment and just fly in our players. We are also available for long or short term contracts anywhere in the world and on cruise ships.

Question 3

Can you setup in a smaller space?

Accepted Answer

We can set up a two keyboard show including sound system in an 8' x 8' space, and a show with both piano shells in a 10' x 8' space without modifications. A minimum of 18' x 10' would be needed for shows with 2 pianos and drums. We can look at your venue and modify our setup to potentially work in even smaller spaces, but the measurements above are the ideal minimums.

Question 4

Can we use your sound equipment for another part of the event?

Accepted Answer

Sure, just let us know ahead of time. We can use your device or ours for a background music playlist, and we're happy to provide a microphone for announcements or toasts or even emcee the event.

Question 5

Can you DJ or emcee our event?

Accepted Answer

We have solved the great debate between a DJ or live entertainment - we do both! Our performers are experienced event hosts who can double as DJs, auctioneers, and whatever else you need to round out the entertainment at your event.

Question 6

What lighting options do you offer?

Accepted Answer

Every event includes professional lighting that makes the performance and dance floor shine. We also offer uplighting with customizable colors to match your event. Later in the night when we turn up the party, the lights  all integrate into one cohesive light show to match what's happening on stage.

Question 7

Can you use the piano that's already here?

Accepted Answer

We'll be glad to try to use your onsite piano for solo shows. Dueling piano shows require the pianos to be alike in tone and in exact tune, so it's not advisable to use acoustic pianos even if there are two.

Question 8

Can you bring everything up and down stairs?

Accepted Answer

Yes we can, it's no problem at all.  Please be sure to let us know ahead of time so we can bring an extra hand if needed.

Question 9

How long does it take to set up and tear down?

Accepted Answer

It varies based on the venue, but we typically like to be on site at least 2 hours before the guests. Any additional considerations like stairs, a second setup in another room, long distance from parking to performance area can make it run longer.

Question 10

Do we need tax documents for your performers?

Accepted Answer

Nope. We are a licensed S-Corporation in the state of Virginia. We can provide an invoice and payment receipt if you need it, or a W-9 for the company.
