==Music==
Round Peak style is one variation of music drawing on Anglo-Celtic fiddle and African banjo music, known as "old-time" or mountain string band music.〔 It is said to hold a distinct sound produced by performers including Charlie Lowe, Tommy Jarrell, and Fred Cockerham who helped popularize the style in the 20th century.〔 Round Peak differs from other types of old-time by incorporating banjo "with syncopated rhythms made by drop thumbs and the melodic nature of noting."〔 The area hosts the Mount Airy Fiddlers Convention and the W. L. Eury Appalachian Collection at Appalachian State University houses research materials on Round Peak old time music.〔
