Dueling Piano Kings is a highly interactive all-request piano show “where your requests rule”. The duo just won “Entertainer of the Year” at the 2026 Canadian Event Awards on April 29 2026, their 4th time winning this national award! They’ve won this award in the years 2019, 2022, and 2023! They were also the first winners ever of the 2017 Calgary Event Award for “Best Entertainer”.

Pat McGannon, performing July 2 to July 12 at the Champion Wine Cellar Experience, has over five decades of piano-playing experience. He has performed all over the world including events for Bill Clinton, Tom Hanks, and the late Glenn Frey of The Eagles.

He’s performed with Dueling Piano Kings at the Scotiabank Saddledome for several Calgary Flames games, many Calgary Roughnecks Games, and four times at McMahon Stadium for Calgary Stampeders games in front of over 25,000 people. He has performed all over North America, and Europe and is “big in Japan”! He also celebrated his 1000 dueling pianos show in July 2024 at the Champion Wine Cellar!

Combine legendary piano skills, immaculate vocals, and a finely tuned instinct for connecting with audiences and you get Calgary-based entertainer, artist and DJ, Jesse Peters. He is performing July 2 to July 10, and July 12 at the Champion Wine Cellar Experience.

He's performed all over the world, including stops in New York City, a six city tour in China and has graced the stage of the legendary Calgary Stampede Grandstand show.

“The best part of being a performer is that human connection” says Peters, “I love how the show can change depending on who’s in the room.”

Jesse Dollimont, performing on Friday July 10 and Saturday July 11 at the Champion Wine Cellar Experience, is a multi-instrumentalist, singer and songwriter from Treaty 7 Territory. She has been performing since she could speak - and her broad musical interests and endeavours have given her the opportunity to perform on stages and in studios across the continent. Jesse has been a featured performer at The Red Piano (Edmonton, AB) as well as Aussie Rules Piano Bar (Calgary, AB), and has been dueling at the piano now for over a decade.

When she isn't performing, Jesse works in the Calgary area as a board-certified music therapist. Jesse is passionate about the ways that music builds community and connects people, and her effervescent love of music and people is conveyed in every performance.

These dueling piano players can play any song you want to hear, from classic rock, and retro, to the latest Top 40 music! No performances are ever the same!
