Randy Kelley and Jon Gibbs

Join Strings every Wednesday morning this summer for its weekly free concert

series, co-presented by the Yampa River Botanic Park. With concerts lasting just

45 minutes, it’s the perfect way to enjoy a summer morning.

Jon and Randy met at a Jam night in 1994. They played together in Greg Scott’s

Smokehouse band in 1998 and eventually with the Worried Men in 2001 at the

Old Town Pub. The Worried Men had a good run of Friday nights at

Mahogany Ridge from 2003 until 2009 and then took a break to spend

time with families. Jon and Randy realized they had a similar taste for offbeat songs, old

swing tunes, and just about anything different from the average fare

heard in bars.
