Meet 9 to the 9th

Mike Lewis (guitar, vocals) Chris Crim (drums, vocals) and Rick Coronel (bass) are longtime San Diego musicians since the 1980s.  They have been there and done that.

In 2020, in the midst of the Covid lockdown, 9 to the 9th was born.

Mike and Chris are longtime songwriters and have been playing together since the 1980s.  Through their unique, stripped down, yet energetic and powerful sound, they created a platform to meld their musical ideas into a unique and exhilarating musical experience.  The results is a sound that fill the space with a thick and very musical atmosphere.  We are an original experience and invite you to enjoy the ride with us!

In April of 2025, Rick joined the band to provide bottom end as the anchor to our sound.  Rick is a longtime San Diego music veteran and has recently played in the band 5 O’Clock at Nikki’s. 

9 to the 9th plays regularly in San Diego and is currently in the studio recording their songs for a future release.
