"WOW! What a night. You were fantastic. From the Four Seasons to Elvis and Three Dog Night. I was thoroughly impressed with how good you sounded. Just like a whole band!

Feedback

  • We actually hired Gary Raye as an Elvis impersonator, but he was with a parntner (soundman Jason Gordon, who by the way had an awesome voice also). I'm assuming when they play together they are Double Shot. The performance was great, and the audience of all ages loved it! -- Lisa B, Chillicothe, IL, 8/17/2006
  • Double Shot came to Our Fair Looking very nice and they were very nice to everyone. We were very pleased and would like to have them back. They handled themselves in a wounderful manner. They both never once said one thing out of line. If you think about using them for a function, don't think, they will do what they do best sing and intertain you. Their set up was great they were very perfessional. We wish them both all the luck in the coming year. Don't change you were wounderful for our Fair. All I can say is Try their tallent you might like them. And they might even make you laugh. We Thank Double Shot for their time they spent with us and hope they had as good a time and we all did. Sandy Qualls -- Sandra Q, Mexico, MO, 7/22/2006
  • We chose Gary Raye for a 50th Anniversary Party for my parents. Everything was great! The venue was very well done, we had the Elvis experience in the middle, so it broke up things a bit, there was no boredom. We have a mixture of all ages and everyone had a great time. I strongly recommend them! -- Donna W, Bradford, IL, 6/21/2008
