Mandolin maestro and multiple award winning Andrew Collins brings his virtuosity to the Leopard Frog Barn featuring his trio’s signature newgrass and blending genres between the worlds of Bela Fleck, David Grisman and Yo Yo Ma!
Andrew is a prolific performer – comfortable on mandolin, fiddle, guitar, mandola and mandocello – he composes, produces, arranges, writes and teaches across multiple genres, including a fusion of folk, acoustic roots, newgrass and even a dash of chamber. He has co-founded stellar Canadian bands like the Creaking Tree String Quartet and the Foggy Hogtown Boys.
The Andrew Collins Trio just launched Retro this month, from blazing bluegrass to jazzy waltzes and classical reinterpretations, Retro shows that great music evolves through honouring its roots.
