SUMMARY:The Andrew Collins Trio
DESCRIPTION:Mando maestro Andrew Collins finds himself – through no actual fault of his own – at the epicentre of Canada’s acoustic/roots music scene. He didn’t invent it – but he’s certainly been a major 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 an electrifying fusion of folk\, newgrass\, celtic\, and even a dash of chamber where warranted. \nAs Collins gathers up innumerable JUNO nominations (5) and Canadian Folk Music Awards (7) won by his various ensembles\, he’s zeroing in on the work he does with Trio-mates: fellow string guru Adam Shier\, whose versatility shines through on guitar and mandolin\, and in-the-pocket James McEleney holding it down on the bass\, mandocello and vocals. \nThe Trio just released their aptly titled album\, “The Rule of Three”\, drawing inspiration from the literary principle that a trio of elements is more impactful\, intricately weaving together visual and literary art’s “rule of thirds”. It’s an ingeniously intertwined homage to the trio’s unique and kinetic synergy. The album was recently nominated for 3 Canadian Folk Music Awards. \nHosted by Beacon Ridge Productions. \nTickets are available through Beacon Ridge Productions.
