Bill Harris Music

Bill Harris was a Utah music retailer so passionate about the business that he often is heard saying, “I hate Sundays because the store is closed.” He began working in music retail when he was in high school and soon after teamed up with two local band directors to open a store in 1953. Within the decade Bill had built up the business enough to buy out his partners. In the meantime his wife and long time partner, Joy, joined the business to work side by side with Bill. For over 50 years their partnership has continued to grow, supporting not only the store and their family but also the community of which they are very proud to be a part.
