Andrew, who is comfortable on mandolin, fiddle, guitar, mandola and mandocello – is zeroing in on the work he does with his beloved trio: fellow string guru Mike Mezzatesta, whose versatility shines through on guitar, mandolin, fiddle and mandola, and in-the-pocket James McEleney, holding it down on the bass, mandocello and vocals, together as The Andrew Collins Trio.
Showcasing a popular collision of acoustic roots, folk, newgrass
and jazz, not to mention a dizzying number and energetic interplay
of 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, melding multiple genres while
tastefully showcasing each of their boundaries.
