Great news! I just got a 2012 Juno Nomination for Best Instrumental Album. Hopefully I'll see you at my release parties in Toronto and Peterborough. More to come. |
Welcome to the official website of mandolin innovator, Andrew Collins.
Hello friends. My website is currently undergoing a long overdue redesign. Check back for the new look and updated information.
In the meantime, I'm pleased to announce the release of my latest album, Cats and Dogs. I have CD releases booked for March 4th, in Toronto at Hugh's Room and March 10th, in Peterborough at the Gordon Best Theatre. Please come out and check out my new band featuring Mike Mezzatesta (mandolin, guitar and fiddle) and James Mceleney (bass). Hope to see you there.

"Andrew has obviously done his homework on the music that he loves. Many of us in
the modern string band field were beginning to wonder if our music was just a blip on the
music map, but in the last couple of years, we have encountered a whole new generation
of extremely talented young people who are getting ready to take this stuff to the next
level. Andrew suddenly seems to be one of the major players in this field; both his
concept and execution are original, while leaving no doubt as to his stylistic roots. He
also seems to have a crucial something extra, the ability to lead and bring out a collective
focus which will produce lasting important work that connects with the rest of the
musical world."
