Caleb Gibson is a hell of a skateboarder, guitar player and entertainer! Catch him at the base of the Utah slopes, Gateway Mall in Salt Lake City and pretty much anywhere else there are groups of people. He’ll be there with a song and a joke, and always with a big smile.

Caleb has been playing music his whole life and traveling the country and playing over the last ten year. Substances have been kicking his ass lately and he decided he wanted to be clean and sober. He said the best part of being in recovery is that he can remember the places he’s been, the songs he wrote and most of all, the people he meets.

It’s just a little inexpensive guitar, generously donated to Rhythm in Recovery, but man was he happy! We also threw in a practice amp, a headphone amp and some headphones so he can practice on his electric guitar back in sober living. He put the shirt on right away!

Caleb is meant for big things and we are honored to be a small part of his story into recovery. It was a pleasure Caleb!

After receiving his guitar, Jon told us this:

“After years of depression and being in a bad mental state, I am finally in a place to begin my mental recovery and I couldn’t be more grateful for the guitar.”

We are happy for you Jon!

Thank you Ellyce Leal for making this one happen!

Jordan discovered a new passion while in residential treatment. When he completed his program, he reached out to Rhythm in Recovery and we gifted him his first and very own, acoustic guitar!

Rock and Roll Jordan! 🤘

Heidi loved playing the Viola when she was younger and was really good at it! Unfortunately, life and its challenges, got in the way of her playing. She is thrilled to have her own Viola during this transition into her new life in recovery. We are also thrilled to be giving away our first Viola!
