Randy Ketelsen

"Nebraska Country Music Foundation Hall of Fame"
2008 Inductee



      Randy Ketelsen grew up in a music-rich heritage in Iowa.  Randy traveled with his father's band "The Johnny Ketelsen Band" for over eight years - performing in all the Midwest's major ballrooms.  Playing for huge crowds nightly, Randy "cut his musical teeth" on Western Swing dance music.  Now, with the Jim Hyatt Band, Randy plays bass and sings harmonies.  The musical duo of Jim and Randy sing a wide range of harmonies from the "Sons of the Pioneers" to the Beatles and Beach Boys.  The fun and entertainment never stop with Randy, Jim, Chuck, and Pete on stage.
