Zach Brock and Colin Cotter Concert at Casa Phoenix

Jazz Violinist Zach Brock (Downbeat "Rising Star" 2013) and Guitarist/Songwriter Colin Cotter (A Thousand Years At Sea) are playing shows on their way down from NYC to the Mike Block String Camp in Vero Beach, FL where they have performed and taught for the past three years. Their hybrid jazz/folk show features Zach and Colin on their respective instruments of choice as well as duo vocals in sets of both original music and covers.

Heralded as "the pre-eminent improvising violinist of his generation," Zach Brock is an award-winning jazz violinist and composer whose music draws on the traditions of jazz, classical, world, and popular music. The Chicago Tribune recognized Zach's latest recording "Perpetuity" as one of it's "top ten jazz recordings of 2014" and Downbeat Magazine's 61st Annual Critics Poll named Zach it's "Rising Star" Violinist of 2013.

Colin is a multi-instrumentalist who began fiddling at an early age as part of his family tradition in Finnish fiddle music, and eventually dove into Scottish fiddling. He is a self-taught guitarist, mixing influences from around the world, and his emotive songwriting bridges the gaps between American and Celtic folk, and rock.
