Dueling Pianos combines high-intensity playing with audience interaction for the hottest nightlife experience available.  And now, Paul and Matt are bringing this unique form of entertainment to Southwest Florida!  This all-request show is part comedy, improv, music, karaoke, and audience interaction so it's never the same show twice!

If you've ever been to a piano bar in a big city: Detroit, Vegas, Orlando, etc., you probably recall the unforgettable high-energy piano antics that practically jumped off the stage. Our show is designed to bring that same electrifying piano bar experience to YOUR venue, with players that are trained in the piano bar style with decades of stage experience. We might actually be those same guys you saw bringing down the house when you were on vacation; we're the Real Deal!

Whether it's a private party, corporate event, country club, bar, or restaurant, Real Deal Dueling Pianos gives customers a high-energy show that's custom tailored to your specific audience for an awesome night of interactive fun.

Individual Bios:

Paul Nicodemi hails from Detroit, MI but has lived in southwest Florida for the last 20 years. A lifetime player, Paul saw his very first Dueling Pianos show at JD's Key Club in Pontiac, MI and could not believe the energy and talent that radiated from the stage. After a chance meeting with some Dueling Piano players on Craigslist, he knew that he'd found his new home. Paul's major musical influence is Ben Folds, and he is often told he sings and performs like a Ben clone, which could not tickle him more. Paul's classical piano training and diverse repertoire of both oldies and modern hits, makes him a lethal weapon on the keys!

Matt Newbold comes to us all the way from fabulous Las Vegas! After performing at the New York-New York Hotel Casino for the last 15 years, Nevada's loss is our gain as he graciously agreed to join forces with Paul to ignite the Dueling Pianos scene in SWFL! Matt has played many high-profile events such as the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, entertaining the troops with the USO, and recently, performed at Donald Trump's 2024 New Year's eve party! Matt's voice channels the best of Billy Joel and his Dueling Piano career spans over two decades and three continents, making him a force to be reckoned with. We are very fortunate to have him with us, so please help in welcoming him to his new home and showing him that Floridians can party just as hard as they do in Sin City!
