“Jack Dunlap, one of the fastest guns on mandolin (and guitar) in the greater Washington, D.C. area…” -Bluegrass Unlimited
A skilled mandolin and guitar player, Jack is well-known nationwide, currently holding the guitar spot with Grammy-nominated and IBMA-awarded bluegrass band Frank Solivan & Dirty Kitchen. Though his roots are in bluegrass, he’s an artist with wide-ranging influences, including jazz, swing, blues, rock, country, and even Eastern Indian folk. As a Virginia Folklife Program apprentice, he trained under mandolin legend Danny Knicely, with whom he recorded Chop, Shred & Split - A Mandolin Player’s Apprenticeship, an album awarded Best Bluegrass Album of the Year by the Washington Area Music Awards.
