Music City Dueling Pianos (MCDP) was founded in 2017 by Chris Hatfield with one mission in mind: to bring unforgettable joy and high-energy entertainment to people everywhere. After over a decade working the bar circuit—navigating the politics, burnout, and endless early-morning flights—Chris knew it was time for a change. With a heart rooted in Nashville and a vision for something more personal, he took a leap of faith and launched his own dueling piano and entertainment company.

 

Starting MCDP was no overnight success. The early days were a grind—powered by passion, grit, and a whole lot of hustle. And just when momentum was building, the pandemic brought everything to a halt. But where some saw an ending, Chris saw a chance to rebuild. As live entertainment came roaring back, so did MCDP—stronger, sharper, and more in demand than ever.

 

Today, we’re proud to be growing a rock-solid team of top-tier entertainers, bringing music, laughter, and crowd-driven fun to venues across the region. Whether it’s a private party or a packed-out bar, we’re here to turn every night into a celebration.
