Danielle Hollobaugh, lead vocals:
Danielle has been performing since she was six years old, and singing since before she can remember. Although she was born blind, it’s is only a small part of who Danielle is and it doesn’t affect her determination to be successful. She is a classically trained vocalist, but her passion is for contemporary music. Competing and showcasing are among Danielle’s favorite parts of performing and she has collected a truckload of honors over the years that attest to her unique talent. In September 2009, Danielle won the Women’s Country division of the national Talent Quest karaoke competition in Nevada. Earlier that same year, Danielle won Bradenton’s South Florida Idol competition, sponsored by 106.5 WCTQ. She also advanced to the second round of the official American Idol auditions in Orlando. Danielle’s original songs have been featured on local radio, including Bradenton's AM 1490 and Tampa Bay's 98 Rock. She works regularly with voice coach Mark Goff, whose resume includes The Backstreet Boys, Creed, Christina Milian and Fireflight. Danielle’s first gig with HWY 41 helped ring in 2009 on New Year’s Eve 2008. Send Danielle an email at: singdanielle@hwy41rocks.com

Adrienne Summerall, vocals

Jeff Kemper, bass and lead/backing vocals: 
Jeff is a long time resident of Anna Maria Island, a local mortgage broker and a former business owner. The talented bassist, singer/songwriter has played throughout Florida for a number of years, primarily with the band Blue Logic, which ultimately disbanded following the release of its second CD. In addition to his solid bass work that helps drive the band's rock-solid rhythm section, Jeff provides lead and backing vocals, and has penned HWY 41’s early originals - including the rousing crowd favorite Til the Place Falls Down, which never fails to get the audience on its feet and dancing. Jeff is also a talented and experienced sound engineer who is handling much of the recording and mixing duties for the band's early demos. Send Jeff an email at: bassjeff@hwy41rocks.com.


Mike Rettig, lead guitar and backing vocals: 
Much of HWY 41’s sound revolves around Mike’s dynamic lead guitar work. A native of Indianapolis, Ind., Mike started playing music about the age of 9, thanks to the influence of his mother, a piano teacher. Once he picked up the guitar, he was hooked. Although Mike lists Stevie Ray Vaughan, Robert Cray and Eddie Van Halen among his favorite players and influences, he never spent too much time learning music note by note. Instead, Mike just plays what feels right for the song, which has been a key to HWY 41’s unique reworking of several familiar hits. He built his local reputation in six years with Bradenton-area favorite Almost Famous, but has found a real showcase in the more powerful rock style of the HWY 41 gang. For motivation, he credits the owners of the local clubs that feature live bands and the great people who come out, have a good time and are always responsive to the music. Send Mike an email at: guitarmike@hwy41rocks.com.


Dave Russell, drums and backing vocals: 
Dave brings years of experience – and some great road stories – to HWY 41. He grew up just outside Toronto, Ontario and started playing drums at age 9 with a military style drum corps. Forty years later, he is still banging away. Dave played with several different bands in Canada during the 1970s and 80s, doing both original music and covers. He spent nearly five years on the road touring before deciding to pursue a more stable lifestyle. Dave moved to Florida in 1994, married his wife Kay in 1996 and, together with their son Tyler, they have been running two family restaurants ever since – Rotten Ralph’s on Anna Maria Island and Bradenton Beach. Dave comes from a long line of musicians though, and music is in his blood, so he had to keep playing – first with Almost Famous, then Midnight Alibi and now, HWY 41. In addition to his drumming and backing vocal duties, Dave also handles many of the band’s booking and business/promotional dealings. Send Dave an email at: drumdave@hwy41rocks.com.


Dave Glaser, guitar and lead/backing vocals:
Dave started playing guitar in his teens – at the height of the popularity of the 80s hair bands. He honed his chops by playing throughout his college days at the University of South Florida in Tampa, covering songs from bands such as Night Ranger, Sammy Hagar, Van Halen and other guitar-slinging rockers. When Dave completed his journalism degree in 1988 and started working as a newspaper reporter/editor (Sarasota Herald-Tribune and St. Petersburg Times), he put the guitar away to focus on career goals. He rediscovered the instrument about seven years ago and is having the time of his life playing with HWY 41. Dave, now the director of communcations at Tidewell Hospice, has also taken on some lead vocal duties, providing the band with an even more diverse sound. Send Dave an email at: guitardave@hwy41rocks.com.
