Dirt Cheep Music Celebrating 40 Years
Dirt Cheep Music is a family-owned business that has been providing affordable and quality musical instruments and pro audio equipment since 1984. The store's founder, John Rathbone, had a vision to provide quality gear with honest business practices, which became the cornerstone of the store's success.
Aaron Rathbone, John's son, a seasoned veteran of the Nashville music industry, succeeded his father and brought his expertise and fresh energy to the family business. He has maintained the store's core values, including customer service, quality instruments, great prices, and strong relationships. Aaron has innovated inventory processing with newer technology.
Over the years, Dirt Cheep Music has become an integral part of the Smyrna community. The store’s walls reverberate with the sound of guitar strumming, violin strings singing, and the spirit of music thriving. Visitors are greeted with expertise and assistance in finding the perfect gear without high-pressure sales tactics.
The City of Smyrna is pleased to congratulate Dirt Cheep Music on its 40th anniversary! We wish them continued success. Visit Dirt Cheep Music at 2415 South Cobb Dr. SE, Smyrna, GA 30080 for the ultimate music shopping experience.
