Proffitt is a native of Pick Brit-
ches, North Carolina. In case
you haven’t heard of this loca-
tion, it is 14 miles west of Boone
in Wautauga County, not far
from the Tennessee border.
Proffitt is a gifted musician
whose traditional mountain
music is a part of his heritage.
He plays a homemade dulcimer
and banjo and is a teller of
authentic Appalachian folk
tales.
His musical ability is a talent
passed down on both sides of his
family for generations. “It’s not
the kind of art that is gained by
education in schools. Much of it
is handed down by oral tradition
.. a heritage passed down from
generation to generation. It is in
the heart ... an inherited talent,”
states the genuine mountain
musician.
Proffitts’s appearance will be
on Saturday, April 28 at 7 p.m.
