Kerri O'Brien
Vocals & Keys
Kerri O’Brien, a Connecticut native, has been singing practically
from the moment she arrived in this world. Her mother claims to
have heard her voice at full throttle half way down the maternity
wing being carried from the nursery.
Kerri brings a soulful, expressive voice rooted in the golden era
of rock and harmony-driven music. Her sound channels the lush
vocal blends of Fleetwood Mac, Chris Stapleton style harmonies
woven with the raw power and emotional edge of Grace Slick
and Janis Joplin. With an ear for classic rock textures and a deep
feel for blues and psychedelic tones, Kerri’s delivery echoes the
spirit of The Doors and the Southern soul of the Allman Brothers.
Whether soaring through rich harmonies or delivering a gritty
lead, her voice bridges timeless rock influences with a fresh,
authentic energy.
Karl Mortensen
Bass Guitar & Harmonies
Born in the Ocean State—Rhode Island—Karl Mortensen grew up beachside in a quintessential New England town, much like Englewood…his home for the past 14 years.
Known locally as “Karl with a K,” his passion for music has come full circle. Retirement reignited that spark, bringing him back to the stage alongside some of Southwest Florida’s most talented musicians. With a deep love for bass and live performance, Karl delivers vibrant energy, steady groove, and an unmistakable presence every time he plays.
Karl’s musical roots run deep. He picked up guitar and bass as a child, enjoyed playing live gigs, regularly with his high school garage band, and later toured New England with Sterling Magee for two unforgettable years.
He went on to build a successful career as an Electronics Engineer, earning four U.S. patents—but music was never far behind. After retiring to Southwest Florida with his wife Doreen, it wasn’t long before music found its way back into his life.
Southwest Florida audiences can expect one thing: great music, played from the heart. Bring it on Karl!!!
Raised just outside Philadelphia, Roy picked up the drums at 13 and quickly immersed himself in the energy of rock and heavy metal. Throughout his early years he played across the tri-state area, including time with the local band Destroyer, where he built a reputation for his powerful style, precision, and driving rhythm.
In 2018, Roy set out for new musical ground, first landing in Wilmington, North Carolina, before eventually making his way to Florida’s Gulf Coast. There he connected with like-minded musicians who shared his passion for high-energy live music.
Now the drummer for Junction 41, Roy delivers the intensity, groove, and stage presence that fuels the band’s sound. Grateful for the road that brought him here, he’s excited to keep the music loud and the crowds moving wherever Junction 41 plays next.
