AFE and MWR Present Dueling Pianos

Three sharp-witted, incredibly talented musicians: Stephen Dakin, Pamela Hopkins and Katy Marquardt will bring you sing-along and laugh-along entertainment.

Meet the performers!

Pamela Hopkins plays piano, drums, cello, bass and harmonica, and can recall more than 1000 top 40 songs from the 1950s to today. In addition to her past Dueling Pianos tours with AFE, she performs weekly as a Dueling Piano player in Little Rock, AK. Hopkins travels throughout the year to perform with other dueling pianists and works with a band as a solo artist focused on her original country music. She married her high school sweetheart, Jason, now a disabled vet who served in Iraq in 2004-2005.

Stephen Dakin started his professional music career at 22 performing with a touring top-40 band. Less than a year later was asked to join the world renown “Blues Other Brothers” show band, and stayed with them for 8 years as they toured the world. Today, Dakin is one of the most sought-after talents in the piano bar industry, known for the huge range and power of his rock vocals as well as his soulful, tender voice on R&B and country.

Katy Marquardt is from Chicago but has performed all over the world as a piano performer. She loves what she does, which is getting paid to have fun with people, and is grateful for having met so many amazing people along the way. Right now, she’s thankful to be on this tour to perform for our troops.
