Ed Harris

Ed Harris purchased the Teller music wholesaler in Chicago during the 1960s. Along with his brother, Mike, Ed changed the name to Harris-Teller and expanded the company’s dealer base and product line. A few years later Ed established his own music publishing company, which sits across the street from Harris-Teller. GIA Publications began in 1966 with a focus on church music and hymnals. Ed’s son Alec grew up in the business and is currently the company’s president.
