(ENGLEWOOD, NJ) -- Shake, Rattle & Roll Dueling Pianos, New York City's longest running all request Rock 'n Roll party, is coming to northern New Jersey to perform in The Community Chest of Eastern Bergen County's Fall Celebration on Tuesday, October 29, 2024. Dueling pianists, Mark Weisner and Rob Carroll, will present an evening of live piano music, comedy, and cabaret at the Englewood Field Club (341 Engle Street) in Englewood from 7:00pm to 10:00pm. Weisner performed for several years on the FOX TV show, Don't Forget the Lyrics, with host Wayne Brady.
The New York Times hailed the “popular late-night Saturday event”, where “two dueling pianists egged on more than 200 patrons to belt regardless of vocal quality or human dignity. People stood up at their tables, sang and clapped.”
The Fall Celebration is open to the public. During this all-request, rock and roll party, guests will pick the playlist. Weisner and Carroll will mix the music, comedy, and audience interaction in a sing-along, laugh-along, and dance-along show. They consider themselves virtually “unstumpable” regarding requests!
Uncle Giuseppe’s Marketplace of Ramsey will cater a range of food for guests to enjoy. During October, The Community Chest will observe Emotional Wellness Month. The fall celebration’s net proceeds will be used to support local mental health programs in Bergen County.
