“...I've heard Atkinson perform live on at least four other occasions, but I've never been more impressed by the work of this trio... the entire audience was completely captivated and thrilled...” – Rick Gibbs, Island Jazz

Hornby-Island guitarist 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, The Bills). The music of this virtuosic group is melodically captivating, sensually charged, and ferociously, technically awe-inspiring. Embracing a lifetime of musical influences, Atkinson and his trio have just released their fourth CD, The Marc Atkinson Trio IV, praised as the finest yet. The compositions on this CD are punchy, driving and rhythmically inventive. Formed in 2000, the trio has toured North America, England, and Europe and has received standing ovations everywhere they perform. Joining Atkinson for this performance will be emerging artist and singer-songwriter Becky Prokova. Jody Rutherford guitar, Scott White bass
