Born in Bluefield, W.Va., in 1928, fiddler Frank George has taken Appalachian music around the world.

An authority on the history of West Virginia traditional music, Frank is particularly interested in the Irish and Scottish roots of mountain culture. In addition to the fiddle, he plays the Scottish bagpipes, the pennywhistle, the fife, the mountain and the hammered dulcimer, and the old-time banjo.

Over the years, he has frequently performed Celtic music with Poteen, a high-energy band got its start in 1978. The Georges tutored the group in old-time and the Celtic traditions in the music of West Virginia. After traveling to Ireland to expand their understanding of Celtic music, the band began to describe their music as "Appal-Irish" in recognition of the blending of cultural and musical influences that shape their sound.

Frank also performs as a solo artist, frequently partners with banjo player David O'Dell and played in the late, great Cedar Point String Band back in the 1980s.

Frank George lives in Roane County with his wife, dancer Jane George.
