Kevin Clover was born in Maine but grew up in Texas where, as a child, he learned to play the piano. Kevin has found musical inspiration in "Everyone I've ever heard or had the pleasure to play with." Kevin appeals to his audience in many ways and his unique sarcasm and wit will keep you laughing. He particularly enjoys performing songs that draw people together and finds great pleasure in seeing a crowd of diverse people sing a song in unison. He feels lucky and amazed to be where he is today.

James Brown is from Mountain View, CA and Detroit, MI. He started playing piano just three months before his first dueling piano show in Peoria, IL in 2005. That first show was life changing and kicked off a 32 state tour with audiences as large as 7000 people! He finally settled here in Glendale, AZ. James has always been a performer and his inspiration comes from his brother's passion for writing and 3 musical theatre composers; Bernstein, Sondheim and Larson. At the SHOUT House, James loves to see those people up on stage, that end up to be less shy than they appear! And it's not a secret, but James is not acting, he really is having as much fun as the guests!

Travis von Cartier was born and raised in the suburban wastelands of Phoenix, Arizona studying piano privately as well as euphonium and tuba, later teaching himself most other instruments by the end of his high school career. He is thankful for his tenure as a nerdy drum major in high school marching band and to his mother(and yours) for making him take piano lessons at such an early age. He finds great enjoyment in playing smooth yacht rock hits of the late 70's/early 80's as well as speed metal and cheesy new wave. He currently resides in Los Angeles where he also works as a living instrument/studio musician/producer for various rappity rap and pop/dance artists.

Harley Bonham was born in Baton Rouge, LA but grew up in Houston, TX. At age 15 he started playing the guitar to "meet chicks", until his friend told him "you suck, you should play bass instead". Of course Harley took this as fewer strings on a bass, learning 33% quicker, will lead to meeting chicks 33% faster! The statistics were there, but with the mushroom hair-do, knee-hi tube socks, rainbow suspenders and corduroy shorts, Harley didn't have a chance with the ladies! As his musical inspiration is "chicks", he moved on to learn the piano a few years later, and joined the team at The SHOUT House. After playing here for awhile he found himself playing "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Freebird" in his sleep, but is always happy to play them as requested. Harley would like to see a request for Piano Concerto #3 in B-minor by the great Russian Composer, Ivana Getyuroksov. He doesn't know it; just wants someone to request it.

Johnny Greco is from Sioux City, IA, and saw his first dueling piano show at the now defunct Sing Sing in Irvine, CA. Inspired by the energy and improvisation of Kevin Clover and Scott Doyle, Johnny set out to learn the gig, and make it just as fun for audience members as it was for him. He now plays as a full time member at the Shout House in Glendale, AZ. He feels extremely fortunate for having great teachers along the way, and credits the team he works with as well as Ron Shelton, Ricky Hernandez, and Billy Ward for taking the time to teach him the gig.

Pete Wilson was born in Chicago Ill, because that's where his parents lived. He was first inspired to play piano by Schroeder from the cartoon "Peanuts", because he was the only character that got any attention from girls. After teaching himself to play piano and guitar, he toured with a rock band across the U.S. during the 80's, in an attempt to avoid work and his many creditors.

In 1993, he was hired by the Dueling Piano Bar little Ditty's in Phoenix Arizona, and has been doing dueling pianos ever since, since it was much easier than getting a real job. His influences are the the Beatles, Billy Joel and Elton John, and Lindsey Lohan.
