The Woodward Opera House will host Cleveland Keys Dueling Pianos on Saturday, January 18, 2025, for a special one-night performance. The event, sponsored by Park National Bank, Mortellaro McDonald’s, The Woodward Opera House, and The Rotary Club of Mount Vernon, aims to raise funds to support the Rotary Club’s community projects in the Mount Vernon and Knox County areas.
The Cleveland Keys offer an all-request dueling pianos show, blending high-energy entertainment with audience participation to create a memorable experience. Founded by Greg Coffey, a professional musician from Nashville, Tennessee, the group brings a unique blend of exceptional talent and interactive fun to the stage. Coffey, who has performed across the U.S. with artists like Jamie Lynn Spears, Madonna Nash, and Cody Purvis, honed his craft in Nashville’s renowned music scene, where he frequently performed on Broadway alongside top musicians.
Inspired by his experiences in Nashville, Coffey developed a distinctive dueling pianos style that combines high-level musicianship with spontaneous, crowd-driven entertainment. After visiting Cleveland, he fell in love with the city and established Cleveland Keys Dueling Pianos, which has since become a favorite act across Ohio.
Returning to the Woodward Opera House, Cleveland Keys promises another unforgettable show. “Cleveland Keys has become a house favorite, and we now think of them as part of The Woodward family,” said Dena Hess, Woodward Opera House manager. Hess, who has collaborated with the group during each of their performances at the venue, noted that the audience always leaves asking, “When will they be back?”
The show will begin at 7:00 p.m. on January 18, offering an evening of singing, dancing, and entertainment while supporting a great cause. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Rotary Club of Mount Vernon’s local initiatives, which focus on serving the needs of the Mount Vernon and Knox County communities.
Tickets are expected to sell quickly for this popular event. For a night of unforgettable music and fun, mark your calendars and join the Woodward Opera House and Rotary Club of Mount Vernon for an evening with Cleveland Keys Dueling Pianos.
