About Joel Proffit Music

My name is Joel Proffit. I am just a regular country boy who grew up in the back woods of PA and NC. I write my own music and perform at certain shows during the winter. My summer work(landscaper) does not allow me much time so I don't get to perform usually during the summer months. I love my God, Family, Country, Outdoors, and yes, MUSIC!!! I have just released this new Patriotic Single intitled: "You're A Hero: A Tribute to the US Military"!! It has been professionally done from the ground up--Musicians, Mixing, mastering, etc. It is radio ready for any who hear it and would like to put it on their station. The story behind the song is this:

Back in 2006, I happened to be in a gas station near my home in NE Pennsylvania. While searching for my last bit of change to pay the cashier, I heard a fella from somewhere behind me say he had just returned from Iraq. That statement caused me to turn and look to see who said it. It was definately not difficult to spot the man in military garb!! I finally found the last bit of change and immediately walked up and began to speak to this man.

I found out he had indeed recently returned from Iraq, and he and his wife were vacationing at a nearby resort. He also mentioned he was to return to Iraq for a second term shortly. We exchanged some small talk, but before we parted ways, I let him know that I, in particular, was behind him, and there were many others who supported him as well. I thanked him for his service and told him to "GO KICK SOME BUTT" for his country!!

Only days after that meeting, I began thinking of how I could make that encounter into a song that would show appreciation for those serving in the US military. Now, 2 years later, this song, is the outcome of what happened that day between that soldier and myself. I have always been grateful for what our servicemen and women do for our country, but my gratitude was greatly increased after that day. So, to the US MILITARY--I SALUTE AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE FOR ME AND FOR OUR COUNTRY!!! WE COULD NEVER REPAY YOU!! YOU"RE ALL HEROES!!!

Thanks for checking out my profile--Enjoy the Song and God Bless!!
