Peavey restores sound at Meridian’s Temple Theater
Hartley Peavey’s mission to restore the sound of Meridian’s historic Hamasa Shrine Temple Theater to its former glory is more than just a professional challenge. It’s personal.
His grandfather, Joseph Lane Peavey, was very active in the Hamasa Shriners — his name is even engraved on the Moorish Revival theater’s cornerstone. Like Hartley Peavey, J.L. Peavey was an entrepreneur and an inventor with patents to his credit. Hartley Peavey inherited his collection of hand tools when he passed in 1955, and two years later used those tools to build the first Peavey guitar amplifier. Hartley Peavey’s music and sound products company has since earned more than 180 patents around the world for its innovations.
