Frank Solivan & Jillian Lea

Frank Solivan is a multi-instrumentalist who sings with power and passion, writes articulate songs that go straight to the heart, and combines the pure, hard drive of classic bluegrass with contemporary twenty-first century acoustic music. He was nominated for 2018 IBMA Instrumental Player of the Year (Mandolin). He is known for his blistering chops on the mandolin, but is also a talented fiddle player. Frank and his regular band, Dirty Kitchen, have racked up a steady stream of awards and nominations, including 2 GRAMMY nominations and 2 awards for IBMA Instrumental Group of the Year.

 

Jillian Lea grew up playing classical, folk, jazz, and Celtic music with her twin sister and music loving parents. She started performing as a young girl with her sister and mother at church and later, continuing their spiritual development, moved to Irish pubs. She was classically trained on the flute at George Mason University before focusing more attention on the pennywhistle. In more recent years, she has become enamored with the world of bluegrass and the upright bass. Jillian has toured with regional and national acts for decades performing and teaching workshops throughout the U.S., Virgin Islands, France, Germany, Switzerland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic.
