Andrew Collins

As a solo artist and founding member of some of Canada’s most celebrated string bands, Andrew Collins is in the centre of a burgeoning Canadian acoustic music scene. He is a prolific composer, performer, educator, producer, and accomplished multi-instrumentalist.

Although a mandolin player first, Andrew also plays mandola, mandocello, guitar and fiddle, deftly navigating across the bluegrass, old-time, jazz, blues, swing, Celtic, and classical traditions.

Andrew has won seven Canadian Folk Music Awards, received five Juno nominations and several Canadian Bluegrass Association awards (including mandolin player of the year) as a solo artist as well as with the Creaking Tree String Quartet, The Foggy Hogtown Boys, along with his most recent groups The Andrew Collins Trio and The Tone Rangers.
