George Penk is a well-known fiddle player
across the USA\, especially in the Pacific Northwest. He lives in Portland
where he currently plays with the bands Joyride and Jigsaw. George collab
orates with many musicians in various musical adventures\, including being
part of the Portland Collection project through his playing on the Portla
nd Selection CD’s. His spirited and rich fiddle style is a delight to list
en to. George is widely appreciated as a consummate dance fiddler working
with callers to make sure the music is in-tune with the spirit of the danc
es. The Penk\, Pinney\, Lindsay trio\, includes Heather Pinney
b> on piano and fiddle (also a member of Jigsaw) and Deborah Lindsay (from Corvallis) on percussion.

Since I am a “contraholic\,” I can often be found any g iven weekend dancing or calling a contra dance. My inspiration for calling comes from Nils Fredland\, whose callers’ workshop at American Week (BACD S) in 2012 spurred me down the caller’s path.
\nWhen calling\, I con sider myself a conduit between the dancers and the band\, helping to chann el the joy of the musicians’ music through flowing\, interesting dances.< /p>\n
