THE BAND
Live Music Rocks
KEN MORRISS
// lead vocals
Ken, like most of us, grew up listening to the Beatles enjoying the harmonies & tuneful melodies. It wasn't long before he was fronting local band Xenon performing all over the Mornington Peninsula. Over the years Ken moved into acoustic performing and playing the 12 string guitar. After a stint planying with the Pentrators, Done Deal sought his talents to front there new line up thus reuniting with muso mates from the past.
GUS MILETO
// vocals & guitar
Gus picked up the guitar at 17, and it was love at first chord when he heard the sweet tones of Robert Cray's "Strong Persuader." Driven by his newfound passion, he saved every penny to buy a red Strat, which remains his trusty main axe to this day.
His musical journey took him through the vibrant Melbourne gig scene, where he rocked out in a rockabilly band before jamming with a few cover bands alongside his mates. Now, as a proud member of the DD crew, Gus is back to cranking the Strat and loving every moment!
JEFF LYELL
//guitar, mandolin & vocals
Jeff started learning guitar at age 10. During his teens, he studied classical guitar with the legendary Roger Hicks. By 17, his love of rock & blues music saw Jeff playing in local cover bands, with Black Sabbath & Deep Purple influences. Billy Thorpe was a big guitar hero.
Over the next few decades, Jeff played in various cover bands & swing bands. Also performing solo and as a duo.
After some time away from performing, the opportunity arose to reunite with Roger Wilkinson and join Done Deal.
CHRIS HELBIG
// drums & vocals
Chris started his drum career in his early teens. He also has a love of playing soccer but the music won out and Chris played professionally during the 80's & 90's. Chris had a break for several years before the love of music had him back playing live music. Chris & Roger together, have been the main stay of several local bands over the past 15 years. Over the past few years they have put together this ensemble of fine musicians to debut at a venue near you soon.
ROGER WILKINSON
// bassist, harp & vocals
Roger started playing the bass guitar at the age of 18 covering the likes of Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and other usual suspects of the time. He stopped playing for 15 years but, the rock & roll never dies and like all bass players, Roger loves to belt out good old fashioned toe tapping rock & roll bass lines. He especially loves Aussie rock.
