Danielle Hollobaugh, lead/backing vocals: Although she was born blind, it's only a small part of who Danielle is and she has been performing since she was six years old. Danie is a classically trained vocalist, but her passion is contemporary music. Competing and showcasing are among her favorite parts of performing, and Danie has collected many honors over the years that attest to her unique talent. In 2009, Danielle won the Women’s Country division of the national Talent Quest karaoke competition. She also advanced to the finals in the Women's Pop division in 2010 and 2011. Danie won Bradenton’s South Florida Idol competition (2009), sponsored by 106.5 WCTQ. In fall 2011, she reached the final cut in Los Angeles for the TV show The Voice, and she has also advanced to the second round of American Idol auditions and the executive producer (third) round of X-Factor. Danielle’s original songs have been featured on Bradenton's AM 1490 and Tampa Bay's 98 Rock.

Her father, an accomplished musician himself, encouraged the family's love of music. Adrienne has been singing most of her life with school choruses and church choirs. She is part of St. Paul Lutheran Church's contemporary praise group in Sarasota. Adrienne has studied dance and theater and has appeared in various musical theater productions at Sarasota Players and Manatee Players Riverfront Theatre. Adrienne joined HWY 41 as a full-time member in August 2009. It is her first experience as part of a gigging band, but she has definitely grown into the part. Adrienne contributes lead and backing vocals.
Jeff Kemper, bass and lead/backing vocals: Jeff is a long time resident of Anna Maria Island, a former local mortgage broker and business owner. The talented bassist, singer/songwriter has played throughout Florida for a number of years, primarily with the bands Blue Logic - which ultimately disbanded following the release of its second CD - and Crushing Myrna. 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.
Mike Rettig, lead guitar: Much of HWY 41’s sound revolves around Mike’s dynamic lead guitar work. A native of Indianapolis, Ind., Mike started playing music at age 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 influences, he never spent 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 reputation as a versatile lead player in six years with area favorite Almost Famous, but has found a real showcase in the more powerful rock style of HWY 41. 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: 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 – 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 and now, HWY 41. 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, he put the guitar away to focus on career goals. He rediscovered the instrument about eight years ago and is having the time of his life playing with HWY 41. Dave's energetic personality makes him the band's primary "front man," and he has also taken on lead vocal duties to provide HWY 41 with an even more diverse sound.
