Frank Solivan & Dirty Kitchen Band - Tonight

Frank Solivan and Dirty Kitchen Band will return to McDonogh for a hand clappin'- foot stompin' concert Tuesday, October 18 at 7:30 p.m. in the Ceres M. Horn Theatre. Admission is $5 for students (no charge for lower school students) and $10 for adults.

Solivan and the his fellow musicians are rising stars in traditional and non-traditional bluegrass music circles, with successful CD releases and performances at major events from Nashville to Los Angeles. Their newest album is getting great reviews.

The talented group is back by popular demand after wowing the McDonogh community last fall. “Even people who didn’t consider themselves bluegrass fans, ended up loving this group,” said history teacher John Wood, who is responsible for bringing the group to campus. “In fact, many students have continued to follow the band.”

Performers include Frank Solivan on mandolin and fiddle, Mike Mumford on banjo, Lincoln Meyers on guitar, and Stefan Custodi on bass.

"I saw the band perform and the Washington D.C. Bluegrass Union festival last year," said Wood. "I was struck by the pure joy and energy in the band's performance. They seemed like the perfect group to bring this exciting music to our students."
