A Note About the Gentlemen:
The original Bearded Gentlemen are Jon Robertson and Isaac Atencio.
Just as fate may have br
ought you to this site, fate also plays a major role in the history of this duo’s friendship. The Gentlemen actually met as young lads in 1988 while auditioning for the roles of Klingon children in the hit TV series Star Trek: The Next Generation. Neither ever fathomed that one day they would meet again. However, years later, the two unlikely friends crossed paths while working as runners for United Concerts in Salt Lake City.
With their dreams of acting burned and long since gone, a new passion for all things music emerged from the ashes like a phoenix. Both of the Gentlemen desired to share this passion with everyone around them.
Jon had been a contributor to publications such as SLUG Magazine and Primary Ignition, as well as attempting his own personal blog. As for Isaac, you may have read some of his anecdotal work in bathroom stalls all over the Wasatch Front. The two of them threw around the idea to combine talents and join forces. The rest, as they say, is history.
For more information on our origins, read Jon and Isaac’s interview with Salt Lake City Weekly.
