Barry Draisen

Barry Draisen recalls the stories he was told about his grandfather who started a store that his uncle would later expand to include school band instruments. The store is now in Anderson, South Carolina, and one of the area’s best known band and orchestra retailers. Barry is proud of the relationships he and his staff have established with school music teachers and band directors and feels strongly this is one of the key elements to their success. Barry is also very active in music industry originations including NASMD.
