Don Redman professional photo holding a saxophone; picture of sign located in Piedmont, WV

It has been said that a successful man is least known in his own environment. Possibly, this was the case of Donald "Don" Redman, a Mineral County native by way of Piedmont, West Virginia, who lived with and entertained area audiences before his rise to stardom.

A graduate of Howard School ('15), Don was the son of Daniel and Henrietta Redman. He earned his degree in music at Storer College, Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, and did advanced work at the Boston and Detroit Conservatories.
