Versatile, talented Howl at the Moon band makes the crowds go wild

Last night marked the opening for many of the core tenants in the Live! block in Kansas City’s Power & Light district, and here’s a great video that was originally posted in the previous post’s comments, but it absolutely deserves its own post.

Video includes:

• Angels’ Rock Bar
• Howl at the Moon
• Raglan Road Irish Pub
• Tengo sed Cantina
• The Living Room
• Fuego

Update: Here is the original blog post.

The first is Maker’s Mark Bourbon House & Lounge, a 6,000 sq. ft. restaurant that already has a location in Louisville. But the other has me really excited, a Howl at the Moon dueling piano bar. KC will be Howl’s 13th location in the US and looks to be a ton of fun!

From Howl’s About Us page

Howl at the Moon takes the term “piano bar” to new heights, with the piano players offering up witty discourse while encouraging the audience to “sing-along” to songs almost everyone knows by heart. Anyone who delights in good music will have a wonderful experience. Howl at the Moon strives to keep their shows fresh with a mainstream and recognizable format that allows their typical customer to sing along with 90% of the songs.

Every staff member of the Howl at the Moon is involved with entertaining guests. There are staff “ShowTime” routines at the bar or on stage, and some (with talent) even perform with the piano players.
Howl at the Moon is a place where you’ll find “friends you have not met yet,” with everyone drawn together by the camaraderie and nostalgia to form one large, synergistic party, swaying to the music, bellowing out familiar lyrics.

It’s a place for a good time – for traveling business people and conventioneers in search of local color, and for people of all ages and occupations in the community. Although there are regulars, you will never find exactly the same people at “Howl” on any given night. The “Howl” is a hot spot for birthdays, anniversaries, bachelor, and bachelorette parties.

To get an idea of what we’re in store for, check out “Howl at the Moon” videos on YouTube.
