Dueling Pianos - a high-octane, request-driven live music party at 101 Central's Second Story

Get ready for the most fun you can have on a night out in Whitefish.

Dueling Pianos at 101 Central’s Second Story is a high-octane, request-driven live music party starring Dustin Brayleyand Ross Bridgeman—two powerhouse performers battling (and blending) their way through the greatest hits of every era. Think part concert, part comedy, and 100% crowd-fueled from the first note to the last. 

This isn’t a “sit back and watch” kind of show—you help write the setlist. The magic of dueling pianos is that it’s built around audience song requests, sing-alongs, clap-alongs, and spontaneous moments that turn the entire room into one big chorus.

Set inside the intimate, elevated vibe of Second Story at 101 Central—a space designed to create memories where “old charm meets modern sophistication”—this is the ultimate date night, friend night, or “we deserve a night out” night. Come ready to laugh, request your favorites, and leave with your voice a little hoarse (in the best way). 

Bring your crew. Bring your requests. And be warned: you may end up singing Sweet Caroline with a room full of strangers who suddenly feel like friends. 

 

Dustin Brayley

A lead singer and guitarist for the multi-platinum Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Dustin Brayley brings arena-sized vocals into an intimate room—then turns it into a party. With credits ranging from Broadway’s Rocktopia to founding Here Comes The Sun (a celebration of The Beatles), he’s equal parts rock frontman and musical ringleader—ready to take your requests and dare you not to sing along. 

Ross Bridgeman

Known as the ultimate “piano man” in Whitefish, Ross Bridgeman is a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer, and award-winning arranger who can pivot from a heartfelt ballad to a full-throttle singalong in two beats. With razor-sharp musical instincts (and the kind of charm that makes strangers harmonize), Ross is your request-taking, chorus-leading co-pilot for a night of Dueling Pianos that feels like a best-friends house party—with better cocktails.
