LOCATION:Qualicum Beach Community Church :: 600 Beach Rd Qualicum, 
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:<p>Andrew Collins Trio CD Release<br /><br />The mercurial, 5x JUNO-nominated/7x CFMA winning 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 a major contributor, having co-founded seriously noteworthy Canadian bands like the Creaking String Quartet, the Foggy Hogtown Boys and, more recently, the Andrew Collins Trio.<br /><br />As Collins gathers up innumerable awards and nominations by these various ensembles, Collins, who's 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 and mastery shine through on guitar, mandolin, fiddle and mandola, and in-the-pocket James McEleney, holding it down on the bass, mandocello and vocals.<br /><br />Showcasing a popular collision of bluegrass, folk, jazz, swing, and classical, not to mention a dizzying number of instruments on stage, Collins and Co. appear to live by the old adage, "idle hands are the devil's workshop" - all the more because And It Was Good even highlights the Creation story itself - likely keeping him just ahead of the devil's grasp.<br /><br />On their new offering, "And It Was Good", the Trio push into new territory, brilliantly rendering each of the 7 days to musical fruition on this Chambergrass disc.</p>
