    Pianists !

    Keys on Main is one of the best places in downtown Tacoma to take a friend out and celebrate weather that be a birthday, a work promotion or just life in general ! This could also be an EPIC date night spot ! It gets crowded and you'll have to push through people dancing to get to the restroom but if you don't mind that so much, it's a fun night of entertainment. They always have two performers who both play piano and sing... YOU, the audience members, request the songs !! A lot of people seem to request rap and hip hop songs but you'll hear a little bit of everything throughout the evening. They always do at least one Disney song (this last time it was "You're Welcome" from Moana), a little bit of pop and throwback hits too ! I've been to this piano bar 3 times now and I love it more and more each time I go ! I've taken friends on their birthdays the last two visits and it's been a blast ! They don't sell food but the drinks at the bar are pretty good. This time I got me and my friend "grape Popsicle" shots which featured a grape vodka and they were delicious ! On the spendy side (like $25 for two with a small tip for the bartender included) but I'd say it was well worth it still ! If you're a lady try to come here on a Thursday night as that's ladies night and you can gets drinks much cheaper like $4 !! I will no doubt be back and I highly recommend you go if you've never been before !

    Fun place to hang out on either a Thursday, Friday, or Saturday night. For $10 per person, there is no limit of how many people you can bring. Although if you have a huge party of people, it is recommended to rent out their party deck in the back. For each ticket, it is recommended you come 1 hour before the show starts to get the best seats. Otherwise, if you arrive after 9 pm when the show starts, you will end up standing by the bar until a table is available for you. The concept of this is simple. Each table gets a stack of cards that you fill out with your name and your two song choices. In order for you to get your song to play next, you have to donate a high amount. Generally $20s are what gets you to play next. However, lets say you put $20 down on your song. It plays, but someone puts $21 during your song. They will stop playing and play the $21 song. If someone puts $30 while your song gets played, that song will be played after your song is finished. So do not request sad sappy songs. Those will be shut down IMMEDIATELY. Each pianist's genre knowledge is unlimited. They even played BTS when i visited. You get to pick which pianist you want to get to play your card. Keep in mind though that it rotates between 4 piano players but there are always 2 at a time up on stage. For your own added entertainment, you get to drink beer, wine, and cocktails during the show. The prices arent listed on the menu, so watch how much you drink. For two cocktails for two people, we ended up spending $75 total. This didnt include the tip. Do note, the waitresses work their a's off all night tending to all the drunk people and making sure that people get their drinks, so be sure to tip them! Overall, will come back again with some friends and/or family! A fun night to enjoy and sing along with your favorite songs and favorite people.

    I heard about Keys on Main from a coworker and decided to check it out. We went on Saturday evening and I tried making reservations online prior but they were sold out. So we got there around 8pm and they were able to accommodate us with a table at the bar area and cover was only $10/person. We were seated slightly higher than the rest of the crowd, so we were able to people watch before the show and see everything during. They don't offer food, but serve alcohol and have a variety of signature drinks. Once the artists got on stage, they introduced themselves and how the process works. At every table there are small notecard sized papers where you write your two requests, the name of who it's dedicated as well as if you're there for a special occasion. Along with your sheet of paper, a tip is to be included, which starts at $20. It can be lower, but they play songs first based on the tip amount. If there's a song you don't like being played, you can tip $1 extra (song was $20, you tip $21) and they'll stop that song and move onto yours. You then take that card and tip and place it on top of one of the artists pianos. An example we had this evening, was someone requested a Christmas song and some people in the crowd thought it was too early for a Christmas song as Thanksgiving hasn't come so they tipped $70 to stop the song... then the original requesters tipped $90 to have them replay it. It made for good fun and got the crowd going. The artists also banter with the crowd and will comment on the song choice. Overall, a really good atmosphere and laid back vibe. We'll definitely be back!

    It was such a wonderful experience! Only a 10$ cover & amazing options for you to pick & if you don't want to her it you're more than welcome to out bid someone's song! Such a creative way to play the piano & the guys playing have amazing skill! $20 for a song a song selection.. but amazing vibes & a great way to get out & enjoy the night with delicious drinks!!! The pianist are hilarious & keep the night moving right along!! Amazing time!! & there was a an amazing BBQ truck out front! Amazing cook. He's from Louisiana & it's amazing BBQ pulled pork! Wonderful owner & amazing food! Can't wait to come back! Gotta find the name I'll come back & update

    This place is amazing! Never in my life have I been to a dual piano bar like this! Honestly the best time I have ever had as an adult in a bar! Wish there was one near me in STL. The drinks were amazing and the pianist were just on their game! 100% must go to! If you never been bring cash! A few $20's! Thank me later!

    This place was not what I had expected and it was surprisingly fun! We got here about 10ish and it was completely crowded. Drinks were hard to come by but seats were even harder; we ran and grabbed a table as a group was leaving. Drink prices were pretty standard and service was fairly fast. The piano players were in the front and randomly grabbed someone from the crowd to participate - whether it was for a birthday or an anniversary, people were more than willing to come up for some fun. At one point, a 3rd piano player jumped on top of the piano and was dancing and singing. It was very entertaining! Around 1130, the place started to die down. I guess it's safe to say this is the go to spot to pregame before the club! I believe a friend is planning to have her party here next week so I will be back soon!

    This was the first time I have visited a Keys on Main, and I visited with a party of 6. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The bartender did a fantastic job making delicious drinks quickly. The tables were clean and well bussed by the staff, but the best part is truly the piano players. They did a FANTASTIC job playing music from every genre. From country to classic rock, and hip hop to rat pack, the pianists didn't miss a beat. They were also witty and charming toward the crowd and created a fun and rowdy environment. This is a great place to come and hangout with friends and even family.

Take 6 was in town for a four night gig at the renowned venue. This visit was less about food and more about the wonderful sound of the acappella group. The current members of the group: Claude McKnight (brother of singer, songwriter, record producer, and actor Brian McKnight), Mark Kibble, Joel Kibble, Dave Thomas, Alvin Chea, and Khristian Dentley dazzled the audience with their melodic rhythms as they took us down memory lane and threw in some new material from their latest album. One of the remarkable qualities of the sextet is their ability to creatively cross musical genres, from straight-ahead Jazz to Pop to R&B and doo wop to the blues. From "Sailing" to one of their biggest hits "Biggest Part Of Me" the group was on point! The acappella group performed an invigorating cover of Al Jarreau's "Roof Garden" that had the audience grooving and moving! To add to the enjoyment of the performance we ordered a couple Old Fashioneds and Sauvignon Blancs to pair with Jazz Alley's cornbread (with honey) and Key Lime Pie. Simply delicious!! A great night and time, I definitely recommend checking the Dimitriou's entertainment calendar to learn what other groups and performers are coming to Seattle.

Having dueling pianos instead of a DJ/band is a great way to get all your guests involved and set your wedding apart from others. They really put on a show and had all our guests either singing or dancing along. For us, it really took the pressure out of feeling like we needed to "entertain" our guests because dueling pianos was the entertainment. Our guests have not stopped talking about our wedding reception. At one point Jeff and Rhiannon had all the men (and I mean all of them) on the dance floor serenading me (while I sat on the piano) with "You've Lost That Loving Feeling"...it was a highlight of the night. Not only do they provide the general entertainment of the night they also provide MC services and come with DJ music that can be played during your ceremony, cocktail hour, first dances, etc. Part of what makes their show so great and why our guests had so much fun singing and dancing was that they took song requests throughout the entire night. I can't end this post without also mentioning just how wonderful Jeff and Rhiannon are outside of their amazing talent. After our initial meeting my husband and I literally felt like they were our friends and we needed to get a happy hour on the books. After our wedding, we still feel the same. Rhiannon went above and beyond by offering to look over my wedding timeline to make sure everything from the ceremony to reception flowed. She was so positive and reassuring that I just knew I didn't have anything to worry about. In summary, they are awesome and you should 100% book them for your wedding and/or any other event.

    I have been working with Pascal for just over a year and I cannot speak highly enough of Pascal as…read morea guitar instructor. He is not only an exceptionally skilled musician but also an excellent teacher who has transformed my playing in just a short matter of time. Pascal can easily and clearly explain material and concepts, often approaching things from multiple angles to ensure complete understanding. Whether we're working on lead guitar techniques, rhythm guitar fundamentals, or diving into music theory, he maintains a strong balance that keeps lessons engaging and comprehensive. His teaching style is also approachable and professional, which has helped create an environment where I feel comfortable asking questions and pushing myself to improve (something I was nervous about, having never played guitar previously). Although I was at first hesitant about the commitment of in-person lessons, I have also really grown to appreciate the fact that lessons are in-person. Pascal has an eye for detail and a very well-trained ear, which allows him to provide real-time adjustments on everything from basic technique to nuanced elements like the way in which the pick is being held, thumb position, hand placement, and arm angles, etc. I believe these types of corrections that would be difficult to identify on my own (again, having no prior experience), and would likely not come through in most online/recorded lessons. These small refinements have made a large difference in my playing ability, to the point where even minor adjustments (like a slight adjustment to wrist angle) allow me to play a chord or a progression that I was struggling to play on my own during practice. As others have commented, I would also recommend double lessons, which I find to give me a great amount of items to work on before my next lesson. On a personal note, I genuinely look forward to my lessons with Pascal. Pascal's enthusiasm and encouragement have motivated me to practice consistently and focus on development in ways I do not believe I would have if I were learning independently. I also do not feel pressured if I have a busy week and have not been able to dedicate as much time to the material (although that rarely happens, as I enjoy the material so much). My wife has even commented on how much progress I've made in such a short time (she likes listening to me now). As someone who firmly believes you get what you pay for, I can say without hesitation that Pascal is worth every penny. If you're looking for a guitar instructor who will genuinely invest in your growth as a musician, Pascal is an excellent choice.

    If you want to be able to pick up a guitar and confidently turn the music in your head into…read morereality, Pascal will get you there. He has the experience, skill, and patience to tailor each of his lessons to provide meaningful and rewarding progress towards your musical goals and, in my case, beyond what I thought I was capable of. I started playing guitar as an adult, and had little idea of what I wanted to get out of the hobby. After years of sporadically learning pieces of songs from online lessons, I came around to the conclusion that I enjoyed guitar enough to take it more seriously. Initially, structured online lessons yield great results, but I quickly started hitting skill plateaus that forced me to move in a different direction to feel like I was making progress. After diversions into music theory, gear acquisition, and some in-person instruction, my interest in guitar was stronger than ever, but I just wasn't getting that much better at playing the thing. Then I found Pascal's website and thought he sounded like someone I should reach out to. The first lesson I had with Pascal completely changed my view of what I could get out of guitar in such a positive way. Biased by my previous experiences learning other instruments, I went in thinking that learning could either be structured and chore-like, or relaxed and fun, but unproductive. I was wrong. Pascal immediately put me on a track that was both structured and personal, and made me enjoy playing so much more. I wish I had hours every day to devote to practicing, but I struggle to find even minutes most days. Even with that constraint, the progress was immediately tangible. One of Pascal's greatest strengths is explaining why he's teaching something and laying out realistic expectations for progression. I became much more aware of the small increments of progress I was making and my basic skills improved dramatically. As lessons progressed, the connections between the lessons became more and more clear. The fretboard transitioned from being intimidating to comfortable, and the fear of getting "lost" started going away. At no point did I have to sit down and memorize anything to get to that place; it happened naturally with the lessons. I waited to write a review for a couple years because I wanted my recommendation to be credible for someone like me: a person whose interest in playing guitar has exceeded their skill and is looking for a teacher to bridge that gap. If that sounds like you, I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to Pascal!
