Who is California Keys?

California Keys is an interactive dueling piano entertainment company co-founded by Karey Nickel and Dave Coldren, two full-time professional musicians who bring world-class talent to Central California and surrounding areas.

With experience performing on cruise ships, in piano bars around the world, and at premier dueling piano venues throughout California, they deliver high-energy, audience-driven shows where guests become part of the experience through song requests, sing-alongs, and interactive entertainment.

Based locally in California rather than flying in from out of state, California Keys provides professional, versatile entertainment for weddings, private parties, corporate events, fundraisers, and public venues throughout the region.

What Clients are Saying

California Keys has been amazing to work with. Very professional! We've had them for multiple shows and they nail it every time. They know just how to read the room and get the crowd involved. If you are looking for a great show I would highly recommend them!

Tap Yard and 26th Hour, Tulare

We have had California Keys dueling pianos show 3 times now and each time they have brought an incredible energy to 1852 that had our guests singing along and staying all night. The performance was professional, interactive, and perfectly executed from start to finish. We are already bringing these guys back again and highly recommend them to any venue looking for a packed house and an unforgettable night!
