Jason Van Deman

Ruling Mercury came together in 2006 as a way for local artists Ethan Bronson, Andy McAllister and Jason Van Deman to write and record music. Bronson, singer and pianist, comes from a primarily classical background and writes with an excellent pop sensibility while singer and upright bassist Van Deman has extensive jazz training, and a slightly more free form approach to his compositions. With guitarist "Chick" McAllister as the bridge between the two singer/songwriters, they wrote and recorded their first album, Kindle, in late 2007.

As a way to promote the music and hone their skills as musicians together, the trio learned an often unique and sometimes mundane repertoire of cover material and eventually began performing extensively throughout the Broward, Palm Beach, Martin & St. Lucie county strip of South Florida. Employing a number of local drummers and using a variety of fun band names, Chick, Bronco & Danger Van Deman got absorbed into the cover band scene for nearly 7 years. Their experiences allowed them to not only grow as performers and musicians, but also to become expert entertainers while playing and providing full sound and lights in a wide variety of settings, including weddings, reunions, graduations, city sponsored events, bridal shows, armed forces galas, opening slots for national acts, and of course every possible type of cover band venue from the all night watering holes where the last set ends at 4am to the intimate and warm tiki hut crowd, where they were often implored to share their original music.

As they say about "all good things", the boys of RM have decided to put down the mantle of cover band extraordinaire, and return their focus to the original passion for writing, recording and performing their own music. Stripped down to let the music shine, Ruling Mercury has an all acoustic approach, and has returned to performing a solely unique mix of cover and original music. The response has been overwhelming and amazing! We think you will agree.

Bob AKA Owner

As a kid, I always liked comedy and would listen to albums by George Carlin, Bob Newhart, Bill Cosby, and Lenny Bruce. Despite my enjoyment of these great talents, I decided to pursue an unfunny career and left Los Angeles for San Francisco State College to be a lawyer. When that did not hold my attention, I switched majors and ended up getting a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Communications.
