Snooze CD - Import

They perform as Gailforce, although their growing number of fans - from all over the United States - simply call them, "The Girls." Their radiant and riveting stage presence coupled with the bond and connection between Gail and Tina is so natural and pleasing that countless listeners are convinced these performers are sisters. And the contrast of their voices and personalities adds another exciting dimension to their performances.

Gail and Tina met in 1993 when Gail was performing solo and heard Tina singing (in harmony) in the crowd. Gail invited her on stage - and since then, the two have been performing together.

Their unique blend of vocals, acoustic guitars, and flute (along with an occasional harmonica) is synchronized in perfect harmony whether performing originals or cover tunes. Their material includes Country, Rock, Southern Rock, Blues, Folk and Pop. Gail and Tina's sound is original, but fans have likened them to the Dixie Chicks and Indigo Girls.

The duo's first CD, entitled Covering a Decade, was released in early 2002. Since the girls had been performing strictly covers for their first 10 years together, they decided to make that the focus of their first recording project. The CD was received enthusiastically by friends and loyal fans who frequent their perfromances, as well as by tourists and other out of town visitors. "Our CD has been very popular with our out-of-town fans. They like the idea of taking our music with them when they leave Daytona Beach," says Tina. "It gives them something to tide them over until their next visit."Many of their fans and followers, from Florida to California to New Hampshire, are the participants and devotees of special events staged in Daytona Beach each year. Those include NASCAR races such as The Daytona 500 in February and the Pepsi 400 in July; Bike Weeks in March and October (about 600,000 motorcyclists); Spring Breakers; and beach lovers who vacation frequently in Florida. International visitors are also drawn to Gailforce performances. The duo is booked for about 250 to 300 performances a year."Many tourists who visit Daytona Beach each year make it a point to know where we're performing. It's not unusual for us to see many of the same faces year after year," says Gail. The duo tailors its set lists to each audience, whether it is families, bikers, or tourists. It is not unusual for Gail and Tina to learn a new cover tune that was requested by a fan. People are often surprised to hear them perform the song not long after the request was made.
