Roy Redman was born in 1938, and grew up on a farm near Saint Jo, Texas.  He holds the Bachelor of Arts Degree in music from North Texas State University, and the Bachelor of Divinity and Master of Sacred Music from Southern Methodist University. While at North Texas, he became much interested in organs, particularly a new organ then being built in Albany, Texas.  Later, he worked with the committee of the St. Stephen United Methodist Church in Mesquite in choosing a builder and style for the first new mechanical action organ to be built in this area.  He also assisted in the installation of that organ.  He has traveled extensively in Europe studying organs and also represents the Johannes Klais Orgelbau K. C. of Bonn, Germany.

Redman has held positions as Minister of Music in a number of Texas churches.  He has built a harpsichord and several organs, including the new 23-rank tracker organ at St. Vincent's Episcopal Church, Euless, Texas, and the new 36-rank tracker organ at Northhaven Methodist Church in Dallas.  He has also rebuilt several organs, including the original organ for Canton, and the 28-rank Kilgen tracker organ at St. Luke's-in-the-Meadow Episcopal Church, Ft. Worth.  He has recently completed the renovation of an 1887 Hook and Hastings organ located at Felicity Methodist Church in New Orleans, and is currently completing the renovation and enlargement of the 1907 Gratian tracker organ located at the Good Shepherd Episcopal Church in Terrell.

Mr. Redman wishes to thank his wife, Sharon, his three employees, David Marshall, Victor Blood, and Joel Holt, the members of First Methodist, Canton, and interested friends who have assisted in the construction of this new organ.
