The concept of dueling means that a group of different piano players competing against each other playing rock and pop pieces and songs (preferably including voice). The pianists rotate and help create and decide the evening’s atmosphere. Piano players are always welcome to sign up for the talent section both online and by phone. They will be given thought to join the staff of Willy D’s. Emphasize resides here on a high quality program and knowledgeable staff.
Willy D’s can be considered a great opportunity for both aspiring entertainers and lovers of interactive and audience-friendly program to spend an interesting evening. While enjoying dinner the restaurant bar’s dynamic and rustic atmosphere bans eventually appearing boredom. The special attraction towards Willy D’s also lies in the variety that the location provides. Being centrally positioned in the area of the crowd-attracting River Market and sharing the rooms with the lower levelled upscale lounge Deep makes Willy D’s an outstanding destination for both spontaneous and planned visits. Even when decided to spend the evening in this bar, flying visits to Deep are still possible.
Willy D’s successful idea started out 2000 in Little Rock. But this is not the only location of the dueling piano bar. The franchise also has a location in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
