Our
Story
Kirsten and Jared met in Boston while doing another 2-person piano show (Murder for Two). After working so well together on a silly, challenging two-hander, they spent the next few years trying to make it happen again. Thus, 176 Keys was born!
Fascinating Rhythm is their first creation, and combines original arrangements, improvisation, audience interaction, and some seriously hard music.
