Cranking it up and throwing it back to Episode 10 with Michael J!
A badass songwriter and guitarist with roots in Exploding Boy, Michael’s spent years carving out his own lane. We talked with Michael about songwriting, life on the road, and what it takes to keep creating in a business that never slows down. After moving to Nashville and playing with Chuck Wicks and Jameson Rodgers, Michael is now tearing it up with the Nashville based rock and soul band, Sons of Legion.
Sons of Legion is crushing the states with over fifty stops on their 2026 tour!
Looking forward to seeing these guys in Nashville, October 20th and 21st at the Ryman🤘🖤

Throwing it back to Episode 8 with Tony Harnell (TNT, Westworld, Starbreaker)
Cocktail making has always been part of the Nashville On The Rocks experience, but over the years we’ve had more and more guests who’ve traded booze for a different path. And honestly? That’s pretty damn rock ’n’ roll too.
So what do we do when the guest doesn’t drink? We shake up a killer mocktail instead. The demand for alcohol-free options in recent years has exploded, and for good reason🔥 Giving up alcohol doesn’t mean giving up great taste.
Huge respect to our friend Tony Harnell for all the hard work, discipline, and dedication🤘
Raise a glass - cocktail or mocktail to Tony, wishing you nothing but success on the road ahead!
Cheers!🖤🤘🖤🤘

On Episode 28 of Nashville On The Rocks, we sat down with songwriter and bassist Rachel Bolan of Skid Row and dug into the band’s hunt for a new singer. The search that’s had Skid Row and hard rock fans alike buzzing for years!!
What does it take to front a band like Skid Row?
It’s more than killer vocals and there’s one non-negotiable- every member of Skid Row has to be on board.
So finding the right fit isn’t just about vocals—it’s about attitude, chemistry, trust, and finding someone the entire band believes in.
As a fan myself, I’m totally interested in the next phase🤘🖤
If you’ve been wondering what the future holds for Skid Row, this is one conversation you don’t want to miss!!

Not every band is just a band.

One of my favorite parts of this show — besides the music and the conversations — is the cocktail side of it. Not just the drinking part, but teaching our badass guests how to make something simple, classic, and seriously good.
On the newest episode of Nashville On The Rocks, I taught Nic Roulette how to make an Old Fashioned using Uncle Nearest 1856 whiskey, cinnamon simple syrup, bitters, and an orange peel.
Easy to make. Four ingredients. Bold flavor. Smooth finish. Kinda like the best rock songs — simple, loud, and unforgettable.
