Amdocs and The Downtown Monroe Alliance is hosting Downtown River Jam's Piano Bar under the Stars next Thursday, Oct. 17, from 6 to 9 p.m. The concert will be at Bry Park in Downtown Monroe on the Skent-N-Dent Stage and features an interactive piano show by Dueling Pianos with Julie Williams and Ben McGehee.
Tickets are free to the public, but attendees must be 21 to enter. There is also an option to buy a table for eight before the event which costs $300.
The DoMo Piano Bar is a project of the Downtown River Jam concert series that brings in famous pianists from across the U.S. This year, Julie Williams and Ben McGehee from Lafayette are playing the show. The music is not the only thing that makes this event special. A number of local restaurants will be catering the event and Doe's Eat Place is bringing a cash bar as well.
Melinda Robinson, a committee member of The Downtown Monroe Alliance, is excited about "Piano Bar" coming back to Monroe. She says, "They basically take whatever you request and play it on the spot. Eventually, the players get everyone involved and the singing starts. It is really a unique event that we have."
To get tickets for the show, they are being sold online or you can call (318) 329-3254.
