Abstract:

Tennessee native and authentic folk singer, Frank Noah Proffitt was discovered by Frank Warner in 1938. Appearing at the Chicago University Folk Festival in 1961, as well as at the Folk Music Week in Massachusetts, Proffitt has been featured in Time Magazine. Having recorded three albums, Proffitt augments his musician's salary through the production of fretless banjos and dulcimers, all of which are constructed from native hardwoods.
