Kirk Garrett

Kirk comes to us from Yosemite, California. He's the consumate classic piano performer and knows all the old stuff. He keeps us in line.

Eric Mangum

Eric tends to be the most uncontrolled, most likely to wind up in a straight-jacket. He adds guitar and saxophone to the mix (he also bangs on a couple of spoons). Eric grew up in Salt Lake (no matter what the other guys say), but because he spends so much time in front of a computer - he acts more like he was raised in cyberspace.

He's played piano since he was five years old, started on saxophone in the sixth grade, and picked up the guitar in high school because he thought it was cool.

Troy Baldwin

Troy's a veteran player and has the most guts to try a song he's just heard. Troy has been singing since the age of 7, where he performed with a children's group called "Terry Tots". He loves music, and has a natural ability to hear a song and play it. Troy studied vocal performance at the University of Utah, and traveled the world in various show groups. He performed for several years at Lagoon (a Utah amusement park), singing in "Music USA" and has since been playing and singing in multiple dueling piano shows for the last 8 years.

Tara Haynes

Tara is an amazing and talented performer, who's energy and personality sparkle in this show. She has studied classical piano, but don't be fooled... when it comes to rockin-out, she holds her own!!! She's a great performer and adds real style and diversity to our show.

Jeremy Botelho

Jeremy comes from Northern Utah and began playing the piano around the age of five. He took lessons for a few years, and by the time he was eight - he could play by ear. He, like most of our piano players, has played in local Utah bands over the years. He even toured a bit around Hawaii and Florida (rough gig!). Like Troy Baldwin, Jeremy also performed at the Utah amusement park; Lagoon for six years.

Wayne Christiansen 1948 ~ 2010

Thank you for the amazing talent you shared with us for so many years. You were a mentor and a friend. We will miss you Wayne!

Rebecca de Azevedo

For Rebecca, performing comes naturally. As the daughter of Golden Globe Nominee and Composer/Producer Lex de Azevedo (The Swan Princess, Jackson Five, Sonny & Cher Show and others) and granddaughter of Alyce King of the famed 1940's female vocal group The King Sisters, Rebecca has been singing, playing, piano, performing and entertaining for as long as she can remember. She began piano lessons at age seven, and recorded her first studio backup vocals at age ten. Rebecca has performed in musicals and live concerts, on national television, in churches all over the place, and currently sings lead vocals and plays keyboard in a Salt Lake City cover band, First Things First. And if you’re really lucky, you might see her crank out a few pop tunes on the ukulele.

Erik Sumner

Erik Sumner comes from all over (his dad was in the Air Force)--most recently Boston, where he studied classical voice at New England Conservatory.  The opera world brought him to the great state of Utah, but he's headed for a much more inclusive musical career, as well as acting.  He's played piano by ear since age six but was fortunate enough to have supportive parents who got him classically trained right away.  A particular passion of his is to blend the polished, classical approach with the mass appeal and zany energy of rock.  He's also been known to play themes from the original Super Mario Brothers game...and to crawl on the ground like an alligator, usually asking unsuspecting strangers for a snack.
