A new brand of piano music has come to the Waterfront Shopping Center in Homestead. The shopping and dining destination has added the national dueling piano chain, The Big Bang Dueling Piano Bar.
It opened Friday. A crowd gathered for opening night offering song requests from country to pop. Guests are invited to write the tune they want on a piece of paper and place it on the top of the piano.
The Waterfront bar is the sixth such location, joining Nashville, Columbus, Cleveland, Las Vegas and Chicago.
“The Big Bang is not your average piano bar,” Sam Leatherwood, co-owner said in a statement. “The entertainers are among the best in the country, incorporating multi-instruments including drums, bass, guitar and a dozen others into their show to create a fast-paced, high-energy entertainment experience that will be unlike anything else in Pittsburgh. We couldn’t be more excited to be a part of The Waterfront.”
