A message to Activity Directors
Activity Directors…..We heard you. We understand the balancing act all activitiy Directors face with providing good entertainment while working with an ever shrinking budget.That's why we left our 4 piece Band and started the Double Take Duo. While Gary and Mike both sing and play guitar,they have their own Digital Back Up Band playing along with them including Drums, Bass Guitar and Piano. What you have is the sound of a 5 piece Band at a fraction of the cost .
Gary Bonadio is originally from Connecticut and has been playing guitar since he was 10. He spends most of his time recording smooth Jazz or Country Ballads in his home studio but loves to be out performing .
