SR starting jammin' on Saloon style blues rock in 2006. Eric TWA on vocals, Paul C on Guitar, M. Yozay on Drums and Myke Chetta on Bass. 3 demo sessions entitled The Silver Bullets Sessions were recorded over a 2 year period; Silver Bullets, Silverer Bullets, and Mo Betta Bullets.

Harley Mann took over bass duties in late 2008 and went on to perform on 2010's full length release titled Whiskey & Water: The Rise and Fall of Montana  Jennings.

In 2011 after a short band hiatus, Tommy Tuna replaced Harley on Bass and Slick River spent the next few years drinking whiskey in bars around Long Island NY. In 2014 Slick River recorded an unreleased album of 12 tracks which included Covers of Joe Cocker's "The Letter" and Sugar Ray's "Mean Machine" off their Lemonade and Brownies Album (aka when they were actually good). Slick River took another long hiatus and never officially released the album, though it was completed sometime in 2015.

Yozay and Paul endeavored on a side project before bringing SR back with new bass player of local Blind Robbery fame, B Blum. Recording of all new tracks began in 2018 and a new album is scheduled for release in late 2019 on all streaming formats.
