Music Series: Andrew Collins Trio

THE ANDREW COLLINS TRIO

Doors 6:30PM | Concert 7:30PM

ABOUT THE SHOW

Showcasing a dizzying number of styles and instruments on stage, the Andrew Collins Trio appear to live by the old adage, “idle hands are the devil’s workshop”, likely keeping them just ahead of his grasp. Bending and blending genres, these musical shape shifters land somewhere between the re-imagined worlds of Béla Fleck, Newgrass invader David Grisman and the legendary Yo Yo Ma!

They will be releasing “Retro”, a treasure trove of Andrew’s signature tracks over the years with fresh arrangements and spirited trio interplay. From blazing bluegrass to new acoustic roots and mod-classical reinterpretations, Retro shows that great music evolves through honouring its roots.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Mando maestro Andrew Collins finds himself – through no actual fault of his own – at the epicentre of Canada’s burgeoning acoustic/roots music scene. He didn’t invent it – but he’s certainly been a contributor, having co-founded seriously noteworthy Canadian bands like the Creaking Tree String Quartet, the Foggy Hogtown Boys and, more recently, his namesake Trio. That’s not to mention the fact that this prolific, robust performer – comfortable on mandolin, fiddle, guitar, mandola and mandocello – composes, produces, arranges, writes and teaches across multiple genres, including a popular collision of folk, jazz, bluegrass, celtic, and classical.
