Guitarist Michael Daves and mandolin player Jacob Jolliff are two of the most energetic
bluegrass players performing today. Their latest record, We Like Jim & Jesse!, celebrates the inventive music of Jim and Jesse McReynolds, but both of these musicians are true scholars of bluegrass. Daves is a frequent collaborator with Chris Thile, while Jolliff has played with Joy Kills Sorry, Yonder Mountain String Band, and with his own band. Both performers will also be teaching workshops at the Summit for all-access passholders.
Mandolin player Frank Solivan and guitarist Jack Dunlap both perform in progressive bluegrass ensemble Frank Solivan Dirty Kitchen, winners of the 2014 IBMA Bluegrass Award for Instrumental Group of the Year. Frank is also the proprietor of Tone Slabs picks, exhibiting throughout the weekend at this year's Summit.
