Marc Atkinson Trio

Put this leader and his trio solidly in the top ten of the world’s working string trios. Jurgen Goethe, CBC Disc Drive

Bio

Marc Atkinson is one of Canada’s finest JUNO-nominated, Western Canadian award-winning musicians. He is the leader and composer of the internationally renowned Marc Atkinson Trio, and co-founder, composer and performer in the acclaimed group The Bills.

Extended bio arrow

The Trio, formed in 2000, has toured North America, England and Europe and has received standing ovations everywhere they perform from the Montreal Jazz Festival to the Vancouver International Folk Festival to DjangoFest Northwest. The many original Marc Atkinson compositions are jewels in Canadian guitar repertoire. The Marc Atkinson Trio II was voted one of the top five albums in North America by Acoustic Guitar Magazine. The Marc Atkinson Trio III was nominated in 2006 for an Outstanding Album Award at the Western Canadian Music Awards. Atkinson’s picking has been described as flawless, surprise-filled, sizzling and supremely melodic.  His music is original, complex and challenging in its conception and delivery but remains accessible and absorbing.
