Frank Larry Solivan[1] is an American mandolinist, recording artist, composer, and leader of the progressive bluegrass band Dirty Kitchen.

Biography

Early life

Solivan grew up near Modesto, California.[2] His grandmother on his father's side played mandolin and fiddle, and his father plays the banjo, guitar, bass, and mandolin. His mother's side of the family included classical violin and cello players. He fell in love with bluegrass music at an early age. Solivan formed his first band, Generation Gap in the late 1980s. They once opened for Ralph Stanley at a California show.[3]

In 1995, at age 18, Solivan moved to Alaska where he sat first chair violin in the University of Alaska's Symphony Orchestra.[4] and played mandolin in his friend Ginger Boatwright's band.[5]

In 2002, Solivan recorded his first solo album I Am a Rambler when he temporarily moved to Nashville from Alaska to pursue musical goals. He was assisted by friends such as David Grier, Rob Ickes, and Shad Cobb.[6]

Country Current

In 2003, Solivan auditioned and was offered the electric guitar position in the U.S. Navy, service band Country Current. He played electric guitar in their country band and mandolin and fiddle in their bluegrass band for six years.[4]

In 2006, while in the Navy playing with Country Current, Solivan recorded and released a solo album Selfish Tears.[7]

Dirty Kitchen

After the Navy, Solivan decided to form his own band. Besides Solivan (mandolin), the current lineup of Dirty Kitchen includes Mike Munford (banjo), Chris Luquette (guitar), and Jeremy Middleton (bass).[8]

The band name is a reference to the gourmet meals Solivan prepares for friends and family (and the title of one of Solivan's instrumental songs).[6]

Frank Solivan and Dirty Kitchen have released four studio albums: Frank Solivan & Dirty Kitchen in 2010,[9] On the Edge in 2013 (after signing with Compass Records),[10] and Cold Spell in 2014.[11] and If You Can't Stand the Heat (2019).

Family, Friends & Heroes

Solivan's third solo project Family, Friends & Heroes was released in 2016, and features members of Dirty Kitchen, family members, and John Cowan, Shawn Camp, Jerry Douglas, Sam Bush, Jim Hurst, Megan McCormick, Rob Ickes, and Del McCoury.[12] On "Wayfaring Stranger," Solivan's mother Lorene (now deceased) sings lead vocals.[13]

Other projects

Solivan has toured with The Earls of Leicester when Tim O'Brien had conflicting commitments.[14][15]

Solivan built his primary mandolin from scratch at a workshop under the tutelage of luthier Roger Siminoff.[16]

Awards

In 2014, The album Cold Spell by Frank & Dirty Kitchen was nominated for a Grammy award in the Bluegrass Album category.[17][18]

In 2013, Mike Munford was voted Banjo Player of the Year by the IBMA, and guitarist Chris Luquette received the Momentum Award for Performance Instrumentalist.[19]
