Piano Player - Kevin Clover

Kevin Clover was born in Maine but grew up in Texas where, as a child, he learned to play the piano. Kevin has found musical inspiration in "Everyone I've ever heard or had the pleasure to play with." Kevin appeals to his audience in many ways and his unique sarcasm and wit will keep you laughing. He particularly enjoys performing songs that draw people together and finds great pleasure in seeing a crowd of diverse people sing a song in unison. He feels lucky and amazed to be where he is today.

Piano Player - James Brown

James Brown is from Mountain View, CA and Detroit, MI. He started playing piano just three months before his first dueling piano show in Peoria, IL in 2005. That first show was life changing and kicked off a 32 state tour with audiences as large as 7000 people! He finally settled here in Glendale, AZ. James has always been a performer and his inspiration comes from his brother's passion for writing and 3 musical theatre composers; Bernstein, Sondheim and Larson. At the SHOUT House, James loves to see those people up on stage, that end up to be less shy than they appear! And it's not a secret, but James is not acting, he really is having as much fun as the guests!

Piano Player - Harley Bonham

Harley Bonham was born in Baton Rouge, LA but grew up in Houston, TX. At age 15 he started playing the guitar to "meet chicks", until his friend told him "you suck, you should play bass instead". Of course Harley took this as fewer strings on a bass, learning 33% quicker, will lead to meeting chicks 33% faster! The statistics were there, but with the mushroom hair-do, knee-hi tube socks, rainbow suspenders and corduroy shorts, Harley didn't have a chance with the ladies! As his musical inspiration is "chicks", he moved on to learn the piano a few years later, and joined the team at The SHOUT House. After playing here for awhile he found himself playing "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Freebird" in his sleep, but is always happy to play them as requested. Harley would like to see a request for Piano Concerto #3 in B-minor by the great Russian Composer, Ivana Getyuroksov. He doesn't know it; just wants someone to request it.

Piano Player - Jordan Benson

Jordan Benson learned to play the guitar when he was nine. Shortly after, he picked up the piano very quickly with the help of his mother. Over the years, he learned to play the bass, drums, ukulele, harmonica, mandolin, piano, organ, guitar, other percussion instruments, and trained his voice to work with them all. Through the financial struggles of his life, he never gave up the hope of one day becoming a recording artist. He succeeded in doing so in 1006, thanks to Samick Music Co., JT Records and The Liberty Sounds Machine in Liberty, SC. In 2008, Jordan moved to Charleston, touring most of the year and working at The Ivory Moon Piano Bar when not on the road. Influenced by Sam Benson, Steve Perry, Kevin Clover, Tommy Shaw, Neil Thrasher, Bob Segar, and Bryan Adams, he has taken to dueling pianos like a natural. Upon joining The Shout! House staff, he quickly was nicknamed "The Rockaholic." Ask him to play some AC/DC and he’ll rock your socks off!
