Goodbye '10...hello '11

2010 was a fantastic year for us. In fact is was our best year yet. As we are celebrating the new year tonight, we thought it would be fun to take a look back and a quick look forward.

Highlights of 2010

Mexico
We started off the year by performing several shows for the Pioneer Corporation in Cancun, Mexico. We kicked off our new show option where we perform a 90 minute dueling pianos show followed by a 90 minute dance party with our band (drummer-extraordinaire Glen Schricker and guitar-god Chris Vazquez). We got to perform and stay at 5-star resorts down there and even had a few days off to explore. We took a trip to one of the 7 wonders of the world, Chichen Itza. Our time in Mexico was a definite highlight of the year.

Vegas
We performed several times in Las Vegas this year at the world famous casinos on the strip. We always enjoy the chance to head to Sin City...but are always very happy to get home.

Space Needle
We had our first show at Seattle's landmark, the Space Needle. The view was spectacular, the load-in challenging, and the show a lot of fun (it was for BP - pre oil spill).

EMP
We also had our first show at the Experience Music Project in Seattle. It was a great venue to perform in...and just one night after Heart played on our stage!

Repeat Business
This was the year of repeat business for us. We had several companies and organizations who asked us back for a 2nd, 3rd, and in one case, 5th repeat performance!

Fantastic Hotels
We had the opportunity to stay in some of the nicest hotels and resorts this year. We are definitely spoiled in the accommodations our events take us to. This year we got to stay at the Ritz in Naples, the Bellagio in Vegas, the nicest resorts in Cancun, the Westin in Chicago, a penthouse suite in Playa del Carmen, just to name a few!

No Cruise Ships
In the 9.5 years Jeff and I have been together, this was the first year we did not step foot on a cruise ship. We can't begin to describe how great this is! In fact, in the last two years, we have only done one five-day cruise. We are very much enjoying the next stage of our career.

A Very Microsoft Christmas
This holiday season was our busiest one yet. We had 7 corporate parties just in the first half of December. Many of these were for the Microsoft Corporation. We are lucky to have such a huge, successful company in our backyard (especially one that throws so many great parties!)

Corporate Success
Over the last several years, Jeff and I have created the perfect corporate show. We take all of the best aspects of the dueling pianos concept, add our own twist, adapt for any audience and event, and the result is a show that keeps our audiences asking for more. We are extremely proud of our show and believe it is the strongest of its type.

Looking forward to 2011...

Next year is already shaping up to be just as exciting as 2010 if not more so. Just in the first two months of the year, we have shows in Seattle, Vancouver, Mt. Hood, Phoenix (at the Biltmore), Houston, New Orleans, Charlotte, and San Fransisco. We are also looking forward to performing in Switzerland in the spring and then vacationing in Paris.

Happy New Year to all!
