Frank Solivan, a musician with roots in Juneau and Alaska, leads a band called Frank Solivan and Dirty Kitchen. Their latest album, Cold Spell, has been nominated for a Grammy for best Bluegrass album. While the band’s sound is based in Bluegrass, it also pulls from the musicians’ diverse musical backgrounds and pushes traditional boundaries.
“For all practical purposes we are a Bluegrass band, but there is something for everybody in what we play,” Solivan says.
In a recent interview on KTOO’s A Juneau Afternoon, Solivan speaks of his time in Alaska and how it feels to get a nomination.
The Grammys will be held of Feb. 8 in Los Angeles and can be viewed online beginning at 1 p.m. Alaska Standard Time.
