The Ben Robertson Trio offers a vibrant, multifaceted listening experience that transcends traditional genre boundaries. The trio is made up of Ben Robertson (vocals and guitar), Andrew Kent (violin) and Andy Connolly (bass). The three are former members of the award-winning gypsy jazz band Swingology, which from 2006 to 2015 delighted audiences with their interpretation of the music of Django Reinhardt and the Quintet of the Hot Club of France. The band played in some of the finest venues in Nova Scotia, and two of their CDs were selected as Jazz Album of the Year by Music Nova Scotia.
Ben, Andrew, and Andy have reunited to entertain audiences with an eclectic mix of songs centred around the “Great American Songbook” plus classic pop and country, Latin tunes, and some surprises from other genres, all presented (and sometimes reimagined) in the Trio’s inimitable swinging style.
