The Hillbilly Mafia is:

Sonny Windberg - Andru Thomas - Grant Thelen - Jeff Waldeland - Dave Hughes 

Sonny Windberg - Vocals, Acoustic Guitar

If you're looking for the personification of a cowboy, then look no further than The Hillbilly Mafia's own Sonny Winberg. Part Marlboro Man, part rugged outdoorsman.  Born in Siren, Wisconsin, Sonny is a natural country singer and self-taught guitar player and you can't help but feel the true emotions of each song he performs.

When listening to Sonny, one can hear his influences, most notably George Strait, Alan Jackson and Hank Williams. Some of these influences helped Sonny hone his craft while performing with the likes of Bobby Bare, Tommy Horton, and Gene Watson. Outside his time with the Mafia Sonny enjoys fishing, hunting, riding his Harleys and driving his hot-rods as well as spending time with his wife Becky and baby boy Nolan.

 Andru Thomas - Vocals, Lead Guitar

Andru has continued to push the envelope of his creativity, starting with a Kazoo in a 3rd grade talent show, to currently playing on national stages. Besides guitar, Andru is versed on drums, keyboards and continues to write and produce music for others. With influences like Dann Huff, Bryan Adams and Harry Connick Jr., Andru writes material with a blend of soul, progressive and classic rock elements. Thomas's soulful voice can also be heard when he performs his own solo show.

An accomplished lead, rhythm and acoustic guitarist, who has logged in over 4,000 shows, Thomas has built a quite impressive musical resume and continues to wow audiences with his guitar prowess...and his hair. 

Grant Thelen - Vocals, Drums

Grant has been known to pick up the guitar, bass, banjo, or mandolin at one of the many late night post-show Mafia Jam Sessions, he also plays a mean harmonica and can scream on a trumpet but, he is most at home behind his Drum Kit.  While studying at the U of M and playing in any ensemble he could make time for Grant also began playing drums with Minneapolis rock, blues, folk, and country bands. Grant’s musical resume is long but some of the highlights include playing shows with Country Legends like Randy Travis and The Bellamy Brothers, as well as current Country Stars, Joe Nichols, Phil Vassar, James Otto, and Little Big Town.

Grant thanks God everyday for his family and the ability to share his musical gift with anyone that will listen! When Grant has a day off (a rare occurrence these days) you’ll most likely find him at home with his wife Anna and daughter Eve,  maybe he snuck away for a motorcycle ride, or is downstairs in his studio working on his passion.

Grant plays Pearl Drums, Remo heads, and Zildjian Cymbals. He proudly endorses Forte Custom Snares (MN).   

Jeff Waldeland - Vocals, Steel Guitar, Guitar, Banjo, Harmonica

A multi-intstrumentalist, Jeff loves the challenge of learning something new.  He has recieved a Degree from the University of Minnesota for Classical Guitar Performance and is currently furthering his education and diving into the world of physical fitness and nutrition.  Born and raised in Minnesota, Jeff has called a few places home in his life including California and St. Cloud Penetentiary, ask him about his awesome tatoo on his right arm. Currently he resides somewhere in limbo between Daytime Jeff and Nightime Jeff with his wife Brenda and three Children. 

Dave Hughes - Vocals, Bass

Holding down the bottom end, sometimes with both hands, Dave represents half of the HBM’s rhythm section.  Dave has been performing on stage since the age of nine, from 4-H talent contests to school plays, he’s been a ham his whole life!  He started playing guitar at age 14, and was in local bands by 18.  Dave has an outstanding vocal range and a natural ear for harmony parts.  He's a great player as well, and with his fresh sense of humor and fun-loving attitude, he's right at home on stage with The Hillbilly Mafia!!  After spending time living and working out of Nashville, TN, most notably as part of Dustin Evans' touring band, he once again calls Lake Crystal, MN home.  In his spare time dave enjoys scuba, muff and cave diving, and working on cars in his shop.
