Karaoke Kings to Share Center Stage at 2011 Tri-State Championship

Reigning Tri-State Karaoke King, Steel Hammer will take the stage in June for a rare performance with friend and rival London Pipes, the 2009 Tri-State Karaoke King.

Hammer and Pipes are considered the upper echelon of karaoke singers on the circuit tour. Between the pair, they have taken every title in the tri-state area for the past two years. Hammer came out of nowhere in late 2009, giving Pipes a run for his money at every turn. He finally knocked Pipes off his throne to sweep the 2010 Tri-State Karaoke Championship in Youngstown.

Hammer and Pipes will take the stage together at the 2011 Tri-State Karaoke Championship before going head-to-head in an all-out karaoke brawl. With the championship competition taking place at Howlers, Hammer and Pipes' hometown stage in Pittsburgh, the main event promises to be very special - and brutal. Neither will comment about the play lists for their individual or combined performances.
