Chicago Private Event Entertainment
Lo-Fi Jukebox Dueling Pianos, based out of Chicago, IL, is a newer musical entertainment company started by Jeremy Bell in 2020. Jeremy got his start in dueling pianos in 2011 where he trained at The Shout! House in Glendale, AZ before eventually becoming the Entertainment Director. In 2014, he moved to Chicago and continued to duel as a freelancer, playing all across the United States and traveling the world working for Howl at the Moon on Norwegian Cruise Lines. He brings a wealth of knowledge and passion to the gig, which is why he decided to create his own company Lo-Fi Jukebox.
Lo-Fi Jukebox specializes in high-energy, interactive live music for corporate events, fundraisers, and weddings much like other dueling piano companies, but offers a la carte packages to suit your needs and budget as well. As a smaller company, we strive to provide the highest quality production value but at a cost that will fit your budget.
