What Is Cardinal Music Company?
That's a long story....
Cardinal Music Company is less of a "what" and more of a "who." Cardinal Music Company is the combination of personalities, ideals, and inspirations of our family. We support local musicians and businesses. Cardinal Music Company exists to be a place of remembrance for those that have influenced and guided us, but are no longer with us. You can see pictures of some hanging on the wall in our store looking over all that come through!
Why "Cardinal"?
They say that cardinals appear when angels are near and represent lost loved ones. We are family owned and family inspired so it only makes sense to have our lost loved ones continue to guide us! The name Cardinal Music Company was brought up by the mom of the family, Paula Wilkinson, and everyone immediately agreed.
