Description

The Barn is excited to welcome back The Jack Dunlap band. Jack Dunlap has made a name for himself playing mandolin in the D.C. area. Formerly of the trio Bud's Collective, Jack has worked alongside past and present members of Mountain Heart, Audie Blaylock and Redline, Dailey and Vincent, Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder, Frank Solivan and Dirty Kitchen, Blue Highway, Chris Jones and the Night Drivers and Michael Cleveland and Flamekeeper, to name a few. Though growing up playing bluegrass music, Jack stretches his instrument into other genres such as jazz, swing, blues, rock, classical, country, Eastern Indian folk music, Celtic, polka and many others. He worked as the apprentice to VA based mandolin legend Danny Knicely through the VA Folklife Program. Knicely and Dunlap recorded the album "Chop, Shred & Split - A Mandolin Player's Apprenticeship" together in 2015. The album went on to win Best Bluegrass Album of the Year at the Washington Area Music Awards (WAMMIES). 2021 brings Jack back to his bluegrass roots. With a new album on the way, he can be found playing an even mix of guitar and mandolin these days with a powerhouse of a bluegrass trio. The new record features 12 tracks, 10 being brand new original tunes, centered around a 3 movement original piece arranged for bluegrass instrumentation. The album is sure to take you on an epic journey that can be enjoyed by young and old alike.
