The first original written and recorded
Southeast Michigan · Available regionally and nationally
Built for
the stage.
Southern rock, blues, soul, funk, and honky-tonk.
On The Rocks doesn’t simply play the room. We change its weather. It’s the kind of show people talk about on the ride home, and the kind venues bring back.

Start with the show.
The fastest way to understand On The Rocks is to turn it up. No streaming-service maze. Just the band, the songs, and the room in front of them.

Meet the band
Four men.
One weather system.
On The Rocks formed in 2021 with a shared goal: blend classic blues, funk, soul, and rock with modern energy. Drawing from Led Zeppelin, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Freddie King, and the long road between Motown and the honky-tonk, the band found a sound of its own.
It has swagger, muscle, soul, and enough room for the set list to lose the occasional argument.
That chemistry has carried On The Rocks from Michigan festivals and homecomings to South Dakota’s Stone House Saloon during the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Repeat invitations include three appearances at the rally and two at Dundee’s Mayfly Music Festival.
Guitar & vocals
Ryan Miller
“The Weatherman”
A bluesman in a honky-tonk frame. Ryan plays what he feels, and the forecast changes with every bend.
Bass
Aren Winebrenner
“The Enforcer”
The missing element. No grandstanding, no wasted motion, just deep water and a rock-solid groove.
Drums
Stevie "D" Skiba
“The Thunder”
The heart and soul of the band, with enough drums to worry an insurance company and rhythm in everything he hears.
Keys & vocals
Jack Rivers
Hammond, Rhodes, and piano filling the space between rhythm and melody, where the whole room locks into the same current.
