The MedleyMerch Story
Way back during the pandemic I was trying to think of possible ways to reinvent myself, (just like so many other people) since my graphic design work was thinning out and I not only had concerns about the future, but had some time on my hands. This store combines my passions for both design, and music. When I thought of the special relationship that I and my guitar player friends have with our instruments, I tried to find a way to show that off inexpensively, along with creating some cool-looking wearables. So, yourguitaronashirt.com (YGOAS) came into being. Some years later it eventually broadened into MedleyMerch.com.
Now it's not just about guitars; we include anything musical, for both fans and musicians. Music can now be seen as well as heard.
In fact I believe music often creates the moments that define our lives, and those moments deserve to be celebrated, captured, and carried forward. MedleyMerch exists because music isn't just entertainment; it's identity, community, and legacy. I believe that the relationship between a musician and their instrument, a fan and their favorite artist, or a community and their shared musical memories should be tangible, something you can hold, write in, wear, and pass down.
Most guitarists remember their first chord. And concert-goers have that one show that changed them. I'm hoping that the sale of these items won't be just purchases, but chapters in someone's musical story.
Thank you for your support!
