Mando maestro Andrew Collins, a prolific, robust performer – comfortable on mandolin, fiddle, guitar, mandola and mandocello – joins us along with his Trio-mates; 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, for a dizzying number of styles and instruments on stage.

The trio has released a double album, grafting 11 vocal cuts (tongues) to 11 instrumentals (grooves) to create a seamless finish with their cleverly monikered double album, “Tongue & Groove.”

“Light of touch, fast of wit, copiously imaginative, and a musical scholar of the highest distinction, Toronto mandolin virtuoso pulls out all the stops.”
