Dueling musicians focus on entertaining the audience by battling for their attention with musical instruments, such as pianos and guitars, as well as singing. Lewis said the idea behind the bar came from his experience as a dueling pianist as well as his belief that the region could use a new entertainment option. “There’s amazing places to eat. There’s amazing places to hang out, but there’s not a lot of places to actually let loose and have fun,” Lewis said.
