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 in 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 jam-band Nailed Shutt. 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 earned a Doctorate Degree (SJU, NY) in 2000 and has been a school teacher for over 25 years.

 Steve Restaino (Guitar/Vocals) - Steve was born and raised in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, NY. He started playing guitar at the age of eleven and has been playing in bands ever since. With very little formal training, Steve is mostly a self-taught musician. He comes from a very musical family where everyone plays an instrument. A versatile background has made him into a well-rounded guitarist and a fine singer. Since making the Mid-Hudson Valley his home, Steve has worked with some of the best musicians around. He  plays acoustic, electric, and bottle-neck slide guitar for HURLEY MOUNTAIN HIGHWAY. Steve  also uses a Roland Guitar Synth to sweeten the sound of the four-piece band.

  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. Paul spends much of his free time directing musicals and conducting musical theater productions, when he's not performing with HURLEY MOUNTAIN HIGHWAY
