RON.

The Band was born in the city of Chicago in October of 2006 out of the ashes of Starrunner and Stoker Ace, reuniting Scott Shellberg and Ryan Behling from the Hundo days. In the beginning, RON was a 2-man band that never left the studio (with Scott and Ryan sharing instrumental duties on their recordings). They released 9 albums digitally that consist of over 150 songs. But late last year, RON joined forces with drummer Mike Maerz to form a live ensemble.Ryan has been singing all his life in various professional projects including Starrunner, Hundo, Ball in the House, Henderson Inches and Jesus H. Whoppner. He is also a founding and current member of AfroZep, a collective of Chicago musicians playing Zeppelin songs in Afrobeat and Afropop style. Scott has been playing bass in the Chicago scene since the mid-90s in various bands including Stoker Ace, Starrunner, Hundo and the Del Ray Melvins.In addition to their gigantic catalog of digital releases, RON has recently released a full-length self-titled album available at www.rontheband.com.
