PLAYERS
Tim Rice
Tim is the owner of Uptown Dueling Pianos. For over 20 years he has entertained thousands of people across the country and around the world. He grew up wanting to be more Axl Rose than Billy Joel. He plays piano, guitar, drums, bass, and sings. His background in radio and improv combine with his deep knowledge of 90s alternative and hip-hop fuel every night he's on stage.
Jennifer Siebenaler
Jennifer has entertained and performed across the Southeast as a dueling piano player since the late 2000s. She has a sparkling personality, phenomenal keyboard skills and powerhouse vocals. She has performed with Josh Groban, Blake Shelton, and Richie McDonald from the band, Lonestar. Jennifer has been named Charlotte's Favorite Female Vocalist multiple times over the last 15 years. She has had the honor of performing our National Anthem for several sports teams including the Charlotte Panthers, the Hornets, the Knights, the Checkers and at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Jennifer lives in Charlotte with her husband Kirk, daughter Lyric and their doggos.
Kyle Patrick Cummings
Kyle started on keyboard and organ at age five and moved to piano by seven years old. A music product of the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, PA, Kyle has toured the world over on piano and loves classical, ragtime, and boogie woogie, but not as much as throwing an all-request party.
Ian Benjamin
Ian has entertained audiences of all ages in two dozen states and over fifty countries world-wide, coupling his high-energy, fun, upbeat performances with his charming, witty, positive personality. He has worked as a singer, a pianist, a singing pianist, a music director, a cruise director, and an entertainment manager.

With nearly twenty years of professional experience under his belt, Ian is thrilled to spend his time singing and playing in and around Charlotte, North Carolina, where he lives with his wife, Eva, and their two kittens, Winston and Cece.
Rachael Rage
Rachael discovered her passion for piano as soon as she could reach the keys, playing by ear from a remarkably young age. By the age of 12, she had written her first song, and her musical journey included playing flute and then saxophone in her school's jazz band. Mostly self-taught on the piano, Rachael drew from her deep love of music and band experience to shape her unique style.
In 2014, she began performing as a singing bartender and eventually found herself as the venue's piano player. It wasn't too much later that she embrace the world of dueling pianos. By 2017, she was captivating audiences with her engaging presence and the way she turns every show into a sing-along celebration.
