Took me to W.W. Fairfield’s located at Beltline and Plano Rd. in Richardson.

W. W. Fairfields (Tradition of fun) Monday night and I pull into W. W. Fairfield’s on Plano Rd @ Belt Line in Richardson, where KJ Lee from Dallas Karaoke has been putting on shows since Karaoke took hold here in Big D.

With a large selection of songs which is constantly growing and a truly engaging show, this is one not to miss.

WW Fairfield's with Lee VanSteeter of Dallas Karaoke
by: Jack Forshee

WW Fairfield’s - As the week begins it becomes easier to take the events to follow if you let your cares go. Thankfully, the climate of W. W. Fairfield’s is perfect for the whole process. With a limited number of singers it is a great place to get in quite a few songs before the night is through. KJ Lee Van Steeter brings an older crowd (late thirties and older) during the earlier part of the show, mostly C&W and older rock, but as the evening progresses, the crowd and the music both get younger, and it travels more to modern rock as well. It is easy to see why Dallas Karaoke has been playing at Fairfield’s for years, as this is a fun show waiting to be a part of your Monday night routine. Start the week off with a smile!

Moose & Vinny's with Lee VanSteeter of Dallas Karaoke
by: Squire

Moose and Vinny's located on Skillman has awesome Karaoke each Sunday and Wednesday with Lee Van Steeter and Dallas Karaoke. I love to sing at this place as well as hear great singers, because Lee really knows how to work the board and the sound system to allow each singer that edge when it comes to sound. Come out and support Lee and enjoy a great time at this establishment.

Moose & Vinny's with Lee VanSteeter of Dallas Karaoke
by: Susan Werth

Moose & Vinny’s on Skillman with Lee Van Steeter of Dallas Karaoke (DK). I have really enjoyed playing darts for the Moose & Vinny’s league on Wednesday evenings. It has given me a front row seat to Lee’s show almost every week. For those who have never been to a DK show, this venue is a great change to explore. Lee combines an equal mix of karaoke & DJ spinning throughout the evening. It is high energy all evening. Selections are easily found through his laptop computer. DK was one of the 1st companies to have laptop libraries in the DFW area. Lee is attentive to his singers, always trying to find the perfect mix. Check him out at Moose & Vinny’s every Sunday & Wednesday evening.

Click’s Kingsley with Lee VanSteeter of Dallas Karaoke
by: Lori Larson

Click's 635/ Kingsley- Dallas Karaoke. I joined Lee VanSteeter, owner of Dallas Karaoke for his first show at Click' Billiards. When I got there Lee had a large crowd of new followers and old regulars out to support him and sing. The night was great with Click's cool drink specials like $3.00 for a 34oz beer, that's 1/2 of a pitcher and $2.25 for most Malt beverages on Tuesday's. Lee has become one of the most high tech KJ's around Dallas, with a new computer-driven system, the sound quality of the Dallas Karaoke's shows, keeps getting better! I was very impressed and had a great time on Tuesday! Join Dallas Karaoke at Click's every Tuesday night!

Click’s is the latest addition show to Lee VanSteeter and Dallas Karaoke in the convenience area on 635 & S. Kinsley. The front parking area is well lit. The room is divided with a full area of billiards on side of the bar and the dart and seating area on the other. Lee has a nice corner stage for singers to perform. Click’s is a very nice & clean gaming facility. The bartender, Shannondoah (also a karaoke singer) is extremely helpful and service was swift. They have great drink specials. Lee’s show is high volume and full of fun for all. It was great to see familiar faces and be welcomed. I had a great time playing video games with Stagg Everhart, another KJ out to support the evening.

Finalists get the chance to compete for a trip to Jamaica. Also on Mondays there is a pool tournament available. Make this show and have a chance to have a fun-filled night of entertainment.

Click’s Kingsley with Lee VanSteeter of Dallas Karaoke
by: Susan Werth
I joined Susan T out to visit my old friend and former employer, Lee VanSteeter.  Lee has been in business in the DFW area around 10 years or so.  Recently I discovered his show listings dropping down, but not picking up.  I had an opportunity to visit with him about this.  Since the birth of his son in January, Lee has been trying to decide what direction he should take his future.  Lee now is working for Excel full-time and karaoke has become a favorite part-time.  He still loves karaoke & the people, but he feels keeping his schedule down to two shows will allow him family time and not jeopardize his new day job.  We wish him luck in both areas.  Join Lee at Click’s every Tuesday and Austin Avenue every Saturday!

Click’s Kingsley with Lee VanSteeter of Dallas Karaoke
~Stagg 

This past Tuesday night I had a chance to swing by Lee VanSteeter's Dallas Karaoke show at Click's Billiards over on Kinsley Rd. and 635.  I showed up late, say around 12 midnight and was immediately welcomed by several familiar faces.  It is obvious from the start that Lee has developed a good following of loyal singers at this show and the festivities for the evening were in full swing.  Lee's KJ style is a modern progressive approach to mixing today’s latest hit songs in between each of the singers as they are called up to stage.  The result is an upbeat, fast moving show that singers and non-singers can enjoy.  Click's offers a unique menu for those of us that like to nibble of munchies while we watch the show but you have to order from the kitchen before 11pm.  There is even a drink special designed perfectly for beer drinkers at this Tuesday night show.  The show runs from 9:30pm to 1:30pm so arrive early if you like to sing often.

Click’s Kingsley with Lee VanSteeter of Dallas Karaoke
by: Susan Werth

A rainy night did not stop the crowd from great karaoke.  Lee has really drawn a wonderful and unique group on Tuesday & Thursday evenings at Click’s on Kingsley.  He has a booming upbeat show that welcomes everyone to dance in their seats or in the isles.  He has new songbooks and a computer songbook to assist singers in making a perfect select to suit their mood.  Click’s has all the amenities of a sporting billiards locations and a menu with specials daily.  In addition to Click’s at Kingsley, Lee is now at the Click’s in Tyler on Wednesday evenings.  You can still catch him every Saturday at Austin Avenue in Plano as well.  Be sure to tell him, KPS sent you out!

Click’s Kingsley with Lee VanSteeter of Dallas Karaoke
by: Susan Werth 

A large party for singer Dann Smith invaded Click’s for karaoke; only Lee was not there and there was no karaoke entertainment that evening.  Yes, sadly Lee was ill and not able to attend.  This did not stop the party festivities.  Over 30 or more guests came and went, wishing the birthday boy well and even getting in a swat or two!  A special appearance of local headlining band Frolic brought the crowd into cheers as they came out to celebrate with Dann.  Click’s management and staff went out of their way to try to keep all the guests happy.  Truly the only thing missing was karaoke.  A representative of Dallas Karaoke sternly reminded everyone that Lee has the best show in Dallas and will return Thursday and as regularly scheduled the following week.  Too bad Dann only has one birthday date.

Click’s Kingsley with Lee VanSteeter of Dallas Karaoke
by: Susan Werth 

First off, Congratulations to Lee & Nikki Coleman as they await the birth of a new baby.  I joined a packed show at Click’s on Kingsley Tuesday evening and was surprised to see some of the old Dallas Karaoke family out for a night of karaoke too.  As with any karaoke family, people come & go throughout the years as jobs and situations change.  It was very good to see everyone.  Lee runs an equally mixed show of DJ songs, new streaming slide shows of singers & family, dance videos, cartoons, and also karaoke.  Yes, his rotation runs a bit slower getting all of this in, but his show does reach everyone in the establishment.  Not to mention that Lee is such a off the collar comedian to boot!  Click’s kicks in a great reason to be there with the latest in video gaming, billiards, and darts.  They also have very reasonable prices and wonderful specials.  It is a very affordable night on Tuesdays and I recommend you hit this show early to get in the rotation.
