FAQ

Here are some commonly asked questions we get :)

We play mostly fundraisers, corporate events, and weddings, but we have also played birthday parties, fairs, and other community events!
Nope! We use portable piano shells with keyboards. This way we can play at any venue and incorporate key-drums to help get people on their feet!
Our schedule is kind of all over the place, but on average we play about 80 events a year. Aside from that, we all play at the dueling piano club called Fortissimo in downtown Denver when we have an open weekend night.
Yes… We are very fortunate to get to play music for a living! Although, running a business is much more than just learning and playing songs. Amy also enjoys web design and is merging that into her schedule.

John and Amy met at Howl at the Moon in Denver, fell in love, and started Colorado Keys. Jon Sherman, Pamela Machala, and Riley O’Toole all worked there as well.
