Phil - Dueling Piano Player Phil came upon dueling pianos while being a studio musician writing jingles in Nashville. He eventually left for City Streets’ dueling pianos club in Houston, TX. He was an anchor in what was commonly known as ‘the toughest room to play in the country’. In a room where entertainment was demanded by the audience without even a one-song let-up, he did this and became one of the most respected all-around talents and skilled duelers in the country. From there, he joined the highly touted team at Hugh Jorgans in Delray Beach, FL.  He is one of the funniest guys in the business and is an excellent singer.

His life outside of dueling pianos is also entertaining.
