The String Showdown

The String Showdown

More interactive than a band, more exciting
than a DJ, more unique than dueling pianos...
The String Showdown is about to be your new
favorite act! Get ready for a fun & fast-paced
performance full of sweet licks and hilarious
riffs! Multi-instrumentalists Mike Lauer (George
Maurer, Bobby Vee) and Greg Byers (Kat Perkins,
Trans-Siberian Orchestra) collide in The String
Showdown!
