The Philly Keys only uses a handful of the top dueling entertainers in the country. 
We know the importance of pacing and energy. What makes for an excellent dueling piano show is having a sense of when to play certain requests, when to get the audience involved, when to slow things down, and when to speed things up. Nobody knows this skill set better!
We play the songs you and your guests want to hear, not just songs that we like to play. Any style, genre, decade that you can throw at us, we know it all. The audience is part of the action at every Philly Keys show.

Creedence Clearwater Revival’s music is still a staple of American radio airplay the band has sold 26 million albums in the United States alone. The show is very faithful to a live CCR performance. Listeners enjoy a full 90 minute show of their favorite CCR classics (Bad Moon Rising, Proud Mary, Up Around the Bend to name a few) and songs that Creedence would turn into live jams such as Born on the Bayou and Susie Q. The band also mixes in John Fogerty classics including The Old Man Down the Road and Centerfield capturing the energy of his current show.

Born in Chapel Hill, N.C. in 1946, Loudon Wainwright III came to fame when “Dead Skunk” became a Top 20 hit in 1972. He had studied acting at Carnegie-Mellon University, but dropped out to partake in the Summer of Love in San Francisco, and wrote his first song in 1968 (“Edgar,” about a lobsterman in Rhode Island). He was soon signed to Atlantic Records by Nesuhi Ertegun, and after that was lured by Clive Davis to Columbia Records, which released “Dead Skunk.” His songs have since been recorded by Bonnie Raitt, Johnny Cash, Earl Scruggs, Kate &amp; Anna McGarrigle, his son Rufus Wainwright, and Mose Allison, among others. Wainwright has recorded 27 albums, including his 2009 Grammy Award-winning High Wide &amp; Handsome.
“Loudon Wainwright is folk music’s great confessor. This time around, having turned 75, there’s an autumnal air to his songs, or perhaps I should say, a winter chill. He’s more serene than usual, contemplating mortality. Aside from Al Green and Bob Dylan, I can think of few living performers who have thought about life, death and what comes after with as much rigorousness, resignation and gratitude.”
