Jenni Sweet
Owner
Jen was originally the bookkeeper for Music Depot for over 10 years, and bought the store in 2019. Owning a music store had always been a dream, and after the shop's previous owner Mark wanted to retire away to Alaska, it became a reality!
"I’ve been playing piano for almost 40 years, (don’t do the math), and I started learning the clarinet about 6 months ago. As always, our customers are my number one priority, if there's anything that we can do better please don't hesitate to let us know!"
Tyler Smith
General Manager
Tyler has lead Music Depot as its manager since 2020, and has been integral in the modernization of our shop. He believes that management works for its employees, not the other way around, and has used this philosophy to build a talented and trustworthy team. Tyler has a passion for the tools as much as the trade itself, and tries to stay up on what is hot and new in the musical instrument world. He's played guitar for 15 years, and loves effects pedals!
"I try to make Music Depot to be the instrument shop I always wanted to go to as a kid; friendly, with a ton of different toys to choose from."
Lynn Fay
Band Repair Technician
Lynn attended Renton Technical College and earned a Certificate of Completion in Band Instrument Repair Technology. Shortly after graduation, she joined the Music Depot team in July of 2024, and she is NAPBIRT certified!
"Tenor and baritone saxophone are my primary instruments, but I can play most other wind instruments for the sake of repair."
Kyra Hurlock
Lead Band Repair Technician
"I primarily play the Saxophone and Piano, but I'm proficient enough in any wind instrument to know when it's broken!
Alan Loma
Guitar Repair Technician
Making a name for yourself is no easy feat in the world of guitar repair, but Alan has definitely accomplished just that! After spending a short time training directly under the legendary Jess Redmon, Alan got a bit of a trial by fire when he had to completely take over the Music Depot guitar repair in Jess's absence. Even in his first year on the job, Alan has absorbed a vast knowledge of all things guitar repair, from setups, to fretwork, to even light woodwork, there's not much Alan can't fix!
"I play mainly guitar but writing and recording music for many different projects has made me branch into many different types of instruments"

Jess Redmon
Guitar Legend
If you're from Greeley and play guitar, chances are Jess either set you up with your first guitar, or brought one to life for you. He first started the "Greeley Guitar Center" (not to be confused with the corporate one) before joining forces with Mark Payne to start Music Depot Greeley. We unfortunately lost Jess in fall of 2022, and thought he is no longer with us, he will always be a part of our shop, and the guitar community in Greeley as a whole.
