Cuero, Texas: The Summer Weekend Wind Down Dueling Pianos event is now happening every summer in Cuero! The event started as every other year and moved to yearly given the widespread interest and requests to increase the frequency.

“We realized the uniqueness of this event, as well as the local interest, and decided to make this an annual event in our community. There is nothing like it in our area and it is always a packed house,” said Martin Leske, Dewitt Medical Foundation Board President.

The 2019 Dueling Pianos event will take the stage again at The Venue on Church Street on July 26, with doors opening at 6 p.m. Attendees watch two talented musicians dueling it out on pianos during an evening of fast, funny and unforgettable entertainment. The event features two pianos, each with a top-notch entertainer from the group Piano Punch out of Austin, who will play requested songs. The audience can offer tips to increase the likelihood that a song of choice will be played. The dueling duo covers all music genres, including Top 40s, country, classic rock, and hits from the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s. A food court, as well as a cash bar is available for attendees.
