History
Our founder, Tim Grant Sr., grew up and raised his family in the southern Dallas County area. In the shadows of some of the largest music companies in the country he saw the local needs of our area being under served. With that in mind he sat out to create a company that was focused on the needs of his local neighbors and friends. Against the odds he opened the doors to our first store front, Guitar Focus, in 1994. During 12 years of business the store expanded its offerings based on the needs of our customers, and soon the company grew to be a full line music store. In 2006, with a new focus on the expanding demand of school band supply and repair, the company moved to a larger store front near Interstate 35 (in Red Oak) complete with a full service horn repair shop, and was fittingly re-branded as Ellis County Music Center. Moving to its current location in Waxahachie in 2011 the company continues to grow and serves an expanding local area with son Tim Grant II joining the team.
