Duane has been the front man for various bands for many years from PA. to GA. He is the vocalist for Savannah’s own Anne Allman, singing Classic Rock which includes songs from Annie’s Cousin’s band, The Allman Brothers.

His song list is varied due to his love of different genre’s. Duane started this band in order to play music that people can dance to.

Tom Leyava
Tom Leyava (Keyboards)
​
Tom Leyava (Tommy Ley) has been playing
rock-and-roll keyboards in the Cleveland area for fifty
years prior to moving to South Carolina.
Tom started his career as a lead singer for the band
"Jersey Bull". Tom was then introduced to keyboard
playing on a Farfisa organ. It didn't take long for Tom
to switch musical directions after hearing the likes of
Jon Lord, from the band, Deep Purple, including
Rick Wakeman from YES, and of course Keith
Emerson. Tom quickly gave up the microphone for his
Hammond organ, which is still his keyboard choice to
this day. Tom was introduced to the Cleveland music
scene by his recording artist brother, Jimmy Ley,
where he was instantily tagged as "Tommy Ley". With his
brothers help, Tommy made it quickly through the
band/agent winding up in an eastside band called
"Satellite", where Tommy met his future wife, Lori.
Satellite performed in multiple states before
disbanding. Tom, then took a stab at disco for a couple
of years in a band called the "Jacks and Jill" before
deciding to head back into rock-and-roll, where he still
is today. Two children later, (Emily and Phil) and a few
years went by, Tom and Lori decided to make South
Carolina their home and The Double D Band his new
musical outlet.
Lou Fasano
Lou Fasano (Drums)
​
Lou grew up listening to Big Band and Italian music in his hometown of Brooklyn, NY, and started taking drum lesson’s at the age of six. After moving to Long Island he formed a trio with some of his Jr H.S. buddies at the age of 12. The band eventually became a quintet named the Pastels (so we could all wear different colored Jackets!) and he was playing every weekend in a local lounge at the age of 15, and soon was ‘freelancing’ with the Frank Stuart orchestra and other bands in various L.I. & Metropolitan NY catering halls.
Fast forward 35+ years and he found himself in Sun City looking for a band so he could use his “old” drum set. He is grateful for the unending support and encouragement of his wife Arline, and daughters Andrea and Lisa, and thanks Duane and the guys in the DD Band for giving him the opportunity to perform “live music” again !!
