Courtney Wilson (Lead Vocals and Sax)

The founder of Double Down and the heart and soul of the band, Court has been singing as long as he can remember. His best experience came from studying at Clark University and fronting the all-original funk band Grandparent Village out of Boston. During this 5 year period Court had the pleasure of playing with the likes of Chucklehead, Jiggle The Handle, Max Creek, The Spindoctors and several other notable bands. Court's dream is that his son, Tyler, will fill his shoes and keep Double Down around for a long, long time to come.

Bill Chiarelli (Guitar and Vocals)

An accomplished multi-instrument musician, Bill's been playing in cover and original bands in the tri-state area since the early 80's. With too many influences to mention he easily handles the diverse DD set list.

Mike "The Professor" Ventimiglia (Keyboards and Vocals)

You know you're looking at a true musician when he says, " I love to sit around and talk about music theory!" Whew ... not often do you hear that. Double Down was fortunate to find The Professor early on and he has become an integral part of the family. As a professor at a local university he philosophizes over many obscure things.

Tommy Nagy (Drums)

Tommy's technical ability is only part of the reason that he is a sought after live performance and session drummer. His ability to adapt his performance around and understand the different genres of music he is performing makes him one of Connecticut's most popuIar players and DD is happy to have him..

With an eclectic list of influences, Tommy crosses genres with ease. From straight ahead rock, to emotional and tasteful percussion, he provides the balance to drive the song home.

Mike Nunno (Bass)

Mike is a premier bass player with an extensive resume of live and recorded work.  DD is thrilled to have him pumping out the funky bass lines.
