Who We Are...

  Eddie Hurley (Bass/Vocals) - Eddie grew up in Hopewell Junction, NY and currently resides in Orange County, NY. He started his bass playing and singing career with the classic-rock group Syrinx while in high school, and then co-founded the southern-rock band South Paw while attending Manhattan College. Eddie was a founding member of the country-rock groups Hussey Hill, Blue Water, and the acoustic-trio McLoughlin, Hurley, & Henderson (MH2). He also played with the Albany, NY based southern-rock band Crossfire and several area jam-bands. Eddie's musical interests are diverse, yet he finds the harmony-laden "Southern California Sound" reminiscent of AMERICA (his favorite band), POCO, CSNY, and the Eagles to be where his heart lies. Eddie holds a Doctorate Degree in Education (SJU, NY) and has been a school teacher for over 25 years.

   Paul O. Davis (Keyboards/Vocals) - Paul is originally from Grahamsville, NY and has been performing throughout the Hudson Valley for more than 20 years on keyboards and trumpet. He has performed with Silk 'n Sounds, Sharp 9, The Doug Ferony Orchestra, The New York Swing Exchange, and several other area bands. Paul has a degree in Music Education from Ithaca College. He is a private, as well as public school music teacher, and has composed songs for two full-length musicals. When he's not performing with HURLEY MOUNTAIN HIGHWAY, Paul spends much of his free time directing musicals and conducting musical theater productions. 

 Ron Harsch (Drums/Vocals) - Ron has been playing drums for over 40 years. He grew up in Williamsport, PA and studied at Lou Feist Studios while playing in local rock and nightclub bands during his teen years. Ron's professional music career began with the United States Military Academy (USMA) Band at West Point, NY where he performed with the marching band, The Beginnings rock band, and The Jazz Knights big band for 28 years. Ron has been a freelance drummer for many years and has performed with Dick Wells, The Bill Nepfal Orchestra, Horizon Entertainment, The Jimmy Sturr Orchestra, The Debbie Major Ensemble, Common Ground Orchestra, The Ed Michaels Orchestra, The Country Pages, and many others. Ron performed and recorded with Tracking Buddha (1995-1998), featuring Elizabeth Graham and with Silk ‘n Sounds featuring Debbie Major (2000-2005). He also studied drumming under Carmine Appice, Tony Williams, and John Riley. Ron has a drum studio in Orange County, NY, where he teaches private lessons. He plays Yamaha drums and Zildjian cymbals and is affectionately referred to as "Rongo" by his HURLEY MOUNTAIN HIGHWAY bandmates.

 

Dennis Winge (Guitar/Vocals) - Dennis is originally from Long Island. He has been a full-time musician for over ten years and is one of the tri-state area's most ubiquitous jazz, pop, rock, and soul guitarists. Dennis has performed at such prestigious venues as Carnegie Hall, The Los Angeles Music Awards, and he has also performed in Canada and Europe (England, Scotland, Ireland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Austria). Dennis started playing guitar at the age of seven and has studied with some of NYC's finest guitarists, including Ron Parmentier and Jack Wilkins. He played his first "bar" gig at the age of 16, and has been a bandleader since his early 20s, when he lead the main campus function band The Institutionalized while attending Manhattan College. Dennis was also the musical director for Ikonographics Videos, Inc. Dennis is the newest member of the band and his bandmates are very happy that he is a part of HURLEY MOUNTAIN HIGHWAY.
