Frank Solivan and Jillian Lea

Frank Solivan is a powerhouse multi-instrumentalist whose raw talent and intense energy have made him a force in the bluegrass scene. Primarily known for fiery mandolin chops and soulful vocals, Solivan blends the drive of classic bluegrass with a fresh, modern edge. His impeccable musicianship and emotional original songs have earned him two GRAMMY nominations and multiple IBMA awards alongside his band, Dirty Kitchen, who are known for their tight, high-octane performances. Whether he's shredding on the mandolin or demonstrating his skill on the fiddle, Solivan’s command of the stage is undeniable.
Jillian Lea’s musical roots run deep. She was immersed in classical, folk, jazz, and Celtic traditions from an early age. Performing with her twin sister and mother at church, then later moving their act to Irish pubs, Jillian has always been a versatile player. Classically trained on the flute, she later turned her attention to the pennywhistle and, more recently, has fully embraced bluegrass, mastering the upright bass. With decades of experience under her belt, Jillian has toured internationally, playing stages across the U.S., Europe, and beyond, and teaching workshops along the way.
Together, Solivan and Lea are an incendiary, husband-and-wife fusion of grit, heart, and musical finesse. Combining family, tradition and celebration, they're the perfect fit for Thanksgiving weekend!
