Some of Mike's influences are Kim Wilson, Robert Cray, Rod Piazza, Charlie Musselwhite, and the Allman Brothers. Mike's gear includes a wide variety of Honer Harps, a Fender Red Knob Twin, and Shure and Astatic mics.

Carmen - Guitar

Carm Verzillo has been playing guitar for a long time. Early influences were 50's and 60's instrumental groups like the Ventures. Other favorites include the Rascals, Cream, and early Motown groups. Carm uses mainly Fender and Gibson equipment with an Ibanez Tube Screamer thrown in for a little extra juice.

Ernie - Bass and BackUp Vocals

Ernie Santoro has been playing music since age six, when mandatory piano lessons started. When he reached grade five, he joined a ukulele band and from there graduated to a baritone uke and then to a six-string (Gretsch Firebird) guitar, which he wishes he still had. In college he was in a rock band utilizing guitar, bass guitar and sax. Interestingly, the college band (Del Guano) made the same amount for a gig as does Doubletake now, some 40 years later! After law school he was in several bands in Rochester and eventually ended up as a bass player and back up vocalist with the Doubletake Blues Band. Ernie also plays with Giuseppe Scungilli and the Screaming Seagull Review (soon to be in the studio to record a CD), which backs up the Cadillacs and The Blues Brothers-in-law. These groups have been a feature act at Marge's Lakeview for the past two years. Ernie's gear consists of a Fender Jazz bass through a Ampeg 210 amp, and endorses Whirlwind Audio equipment.

Bill - Drums

Bill Martin brings 15 years playing experience to the band. He has played with the bands No-Dice, Kaleidoscope, Undercover, Dynamics, Black Creek, and a few other bands that are less known. Bill is now with the best band that he has played with - yes, Doubletake! Bill's influences are Frank Briggs, Carl Palmer, Bill Bruford, and Scott Rock. Bill's gear includes a Mapex V 5 piece drum set, Sabian and Paste cymbals and Pearl hardware.

Joe - Keyboards, Backup Vocals

Joe Saliceti is the newest addition to the band. He brings over 20 years of keyboard experience with him to the band. Joe also plays the tenor sax, brass instruments and dabbles with the drums as well. Joe has played with Papanut (a classic rock cover band), No Convictions (a southern rock cover band), The Frogman, and has a few projects he is working on, on the side. Joe's biggest influences are Stevie Wonder, Greg Allman and Herby Hancock. Joe's gear includes a Korg Triton LE Music Workstation, a Yamaha PSR735, and multiple Peavy amps. Joe feels privileged to have met the Doubletake crew and they are some of the finest musicians and friends that he has ever met. Joe loves the electricity that the band puts out and the intense chemistry that they have on stage!
