Dave started in radio at age 12. He started bugging and calling his local radio station’s DJ’s about getting into radio. Many of them took him under their wing and he soon learned the ropes from the "Radio Greats" in his hometown of Glasgow, Kentucky. He eventually went into programming and landed a gig in Nashville. It was there that he joined two legendary Nashville stations, WLAC and WSIX.

It was at WSIX that Dave met and befriended Hollywood Hendrix. Hollywood went on to become the first host of Retro Rewind

In late 1997 Dave conceived the name, the idea, and concept of Retro Rewind. Together with Hollywood and their friend, voiceover legend Bumper Morgan, they launched the show nationwide in February 1998.  
Dave wrote and co-executive produced every installment of the syndicated show. In 1998, Dave took a leave of absence to serve as the manager of the platinum selling band "The Outfield".
 
In 1999, Dave took over the hosting duties of Retro Rewind. Anthony Vita also joined the staff that year. 
Dave's a big-time music history buff and his lent some of his expertise to many entertainment outlets. He’s also contributed assistance to VH-1 for many of their popular shows, "Where Are They Now?” "Behind The Music", "Before They Were Rock Stars", and "The List". In 2005 Dave helped secure talent for NBC's mid-summer replacement show, "Hit Me Baby One More Time".

Dave's hobbies include following the NFL (San Diego Chargers), video games, and songwriting. He has written well over 400 songs. Some songs are a collaboration with his best friend, actor Scott Grimes. (From NBC’s “ER”, HBO’s "Band Of Brothers", and FOX’s "Party Of Five").

In 2005 Dave scored a top 20 AC hit on the Billboard and Radio & Records chart, as co-writer of "Sunset Blvd", performed by Scott Grimes. Harris co-wrote several of the songs on Grimes' 2005 CD, "Livin’ on the Run". In 2006, the writing team of Grimes/Harris wrote the title track to the movie, “What Love Is” starring Cuba Gooding Jr.

She later relocated to Nashville, TN.

In late 1999, while living in New York, Jenni met Dave Harris and have been friends ever since.  New York offered Jenni the opportunity to train with celebrity vocal instructor Andy Anselmo whose clients include actors Mandy Patinkin, Brooke Shields, Regis Philbin and others.

Hollywood Hendrix began his radio career in 1976 at the age of sixteen in a small Tennessee town. After three years at WRJB/Super 98FM in Camden, he moved on to his first programming job. After two years of morning wake up duties and program director chores under his belt it was time to make that jump to a larger market.

He landed at WRVR in Memphis, staying a short time before crossing the street to WMC-FM100. After a few years in the Memphis market he left for the mid-day slot at one of New England's most respected radio stations, WTIC-FM in Hartford, CT. From there, it was off to afternoon drive at WKXX (kicks 106) in Birmingham, AL. Hollywood was also a television show host for several years at a local Birmingham TV station. The show, TRAXX AND FACTS, was syndicated in many markets across the United States and abroad as well.

In 1985 it was time to come home to the great state of Tennessee. From 1985 through 1992 Hollywood's show was heard every week night on WYHY/Y107 THE OUTRAGEOUS FM which at the time was the hottest CHR radio station in the country and consistently #1 in Nashville during the latter part of the 1980s. Hollywood's night show on Y107 still holds the modern all-time night ratings record 12+ numbers in the Nashville metro market with a thirty (30) share in 1988.

Then, in '93, it was time for a new challenge in a different format. WSIX, which took over the number one ratings slot in Nashville, hired Hollywood for the 7-12 midnight slot, which in 1995 garnered him a CMA nomination for large market personality of the year. After almost four years at the nationally acclaimed country station Hollywood decided to take his talents to the voice-over field full time launching Hollywood Hendrix Productions in the summer of 1996 which successfully continues in full operation today.

In 1997, he teamed with Dave Harris who he worked with at WSIX, and Bumper Morgan who he worked with at Y107, to start Retro Rewind. They went into national syndication in February 1998.

In recent years, Hollywood has returned to the airwaves of the Music City in several capacities. You can catch him doing live traffic reports at different times of the week on any one of the three major Television stations in the market. Including, WSMV Channel 4, WTVF Channel 5, and, WKRN Channel 2.
