2 FACES OF GINGER: THE BAND Hammond Keys, Keyboards, Guitars, Vocals, DJ Hammond s musical influences date back to his 7 years of classical piano training under a lineage of tutors dating back to the Hungarian composer, Franz Liszt. His radio career, dating back to the late 60 s, evolved into his own music and DJ company where since the early 80 s, he has individually performed as a DJ and pianist at over 1,250 wedding receptions and corporate events. His moniker emerged from his love for the Hammond B-3 organ, a staple of the rock and jazz music scene. He has toured with several regional show bands and provides this act with his dynamic keyboard, guitar, DJ and vocal abilities, which includes voice impersonations of over 80 characters! In addition to his vocal contributions to Faces Of Ginger, Hammond also plays acoustic and electric guitar and harmonica. He has over 35,000 songs to choose from in his DJ library to keep the dance floor moving between the band sets! David Deveaux, Lead Guitar, Vocals David is a true showman, performing as John Lennon in a Beatles tribute band before signing on with Faces of Ginger. His experience as a lead guitarist started at age 18 as a guitar teacher, which eventually led to various stints with independent Canadian recording artists, such as Tragically Hip a tribute band to the Canadian performers The Radically Hip. David s impersonation of John Lennon coupled with his ability to play guitar landed him with the Beatlemanics, who toured on cruise ships, as well as stadium and arena convention performances in the U.S. and Canada. His musical style and versatility factors in heavily in the direction this act is focused. David also impersonates Frank Sinatra, Roy Orbison and Elvis, joining the cast of characters that highlight the talent base this band showcases. Chris Hargett, Mixologist Chris is a musician in his own right. Originally hailing from Kentucky, Chris played drums and percussion with the Inside Out Band for 16 years before relocating to Southwest Florida. The Inside Out Band cut 3 CD s and opened for name country acts like George Jones, Lorrie Morgan, Luke Bryan, Charlie Daniels, LeeAnn Rimes and Montgomery Gentry and went on to play USO shows, performing for troops all over the globe, from Alaska to Greenland to Saudi Arabia, post-gulf War. His dedication to the art and his natural ear for sound makes Chris an integral part of the Faces distinct, overall sound.

3 Vic Syzonenko, Bass Guitar, Vocals Hailing from Piscataway, New Jersey, Vic s musical knowledge and expertise includes extensive training in music theory and music and vocal performance, including time spent singing in the world-renown Rutgers Glee Club, touring throughout Europe. Vic s professional career began in the 80 s, with appearances in his own family band as bass player and lead singer, which turned into his own touring circuit band that played various venues up and down the Jersey Shore. From 1991 to 2004, Vic performed with Perfect Combination, New Jersey s top wedding and corporate events band, also playing bass while singing lead and backing vocals. Vic moved his musical talents to Florida in 2004, where he has performed with numerous bands and duet acts, as well as solo performances, with a repertoire of over 600 songs ranging from oldies to today s pop hits, providing Faces Of Ginger with exceptional panache as a showcase front man. Bernie Boggs, Drums, Percussion, Vocals Faces Of Ginger with Diane DeNoble Performing in Concert in Punta Gorda, FL Bernie s career as a drummer started in his own high school marching band, followed by private lessons from a tutor that performed in the musical Jesus Christ Superstar and played drums in a Christian band at the age of 13. At 21, Bernie toured solidly for three years with Buckshot and ended up playing with a group named Street Life, touring the Carolinas, opening for a number of major country artists before moving to Southwest Florida, where he has since played numerous club dates.

The system has an output of 3400 watts but can be increased to 7500 watts if needed. All of the channels that have stereo feeds are fed into the board in stereo, which insures the highest quality sound possible.

The Faces, as they are known, come complete with professional instrumentation and amplification.
