We are The Nineteens
Ska | Rockabilly | Surf | Punk Rock
The Nineteens are a high-energy mix of surf, ska, rockabilly, and punk rock ‘n’ roll, with a sound that's as gritty as it is infectious. Formed in 2020, the band quickly became a staple of the Bay Area's live music scene. The Nineteens' current members are Minke Binnerts (lead vocals), John Literacki (guitar and vocals), Tom Connelly (bass and vocals), and Rick Kennan (drums).
The Nineteens' musical journey took off with the release of their debut full-length album Stop Stealing Dogs in 2022, followed by Thanks a Bunch in 2023 and we are the Nineteens in 2025. These records showcase the band's dynamic mix of 1970s punk rock, 1980s ska, and rockabilly influences, while paying homage to their heroes like The Clash, The Pretenders, Elvis Costello, and Siouxsie and the Banshees. With a sound that nods to everything from Chet Atkins' country picking to the energy of classic punk, The Nineteens' music is always edgy, creative, and driven by a sense of rebellion.
Meet the band
Minke Binnerts
Vocals | Power | Truth
With a voice that echoes the raw edge of Chrissie Hynde, Minke is the fierce front woman of the Nineteens. Inspired by female punk & rock icons like Patti Smith, Debbie Harry, and Stevie Nicks, she delivers powerful, emotive vocals that cut through with both grit and grace. Her stage presence blending joy, attitude, and authenticity commands attention, and her voice leaves a lasting imprint.
Rick Kennan
Drums | percussion | dance
You wouldn't think he can hit the drums as hard as he can and with a nuance and style that is unique and powerful, but he can...and he does. Rick adds style and power to the sound, taking songs in beautiful rhythmic directions
John Literacki
Guitar | vocals | mastery
Wildly thoughtful in his guitar mastery, John brings a level of style spanning multiple genres, from country, to jazz, to ska and beloved punk rock. He has toured the world with ALD, The Almighty Lumberjacks of Death and has the chops to prove it.
Tom Connelly
Bass | vocals | style
Tom cut his teeth playing thrash punk, rock, ska, and world music. Never a pick in hand, he feels the rhythm and adds a level of thump. It's a wrestling match between the bass guitar and the demons within to produce a richness that fills the spaces.
