With a whirlwind of instrumental styles fusing classical, rock, blues, jazz, world music, progressive, as well as the quintessential California musical genre surf music, the California Guitar Trio's stunning virtuosity and sly sense of humor have earned them a rabid following and wide notoriety amongst fans everywhere of progressive, acoustic and classical music. With their guitars tuned to New Standard Tuning to give them extended range, and their adept use of circulation, when they tackle a Bach prelude, it’s as if the spirit of Glenn Gould is being channeled seamlessly through three hearts, six hands and eighteen strings playing as one. And from there, a leap to Bohemian Rhapsody or The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly is just as likely as Beethoven or Barber. Local guru of world guitar, Greg Herriges will be opening.

 

Notably, CGT music was featured on the television coverage of the 1998, 2000, 2002 and 2004 Olympics, and also on CBS, NBC, CNN, and ESPN TV programs. The CGT performed on the 2003 Grammy Awards nominated track Apollo on Tony Levin's CD Pieces of the Sun; and CGT music was sent into outer space as wake up music for the crew aboard NASA's Space Shuttle Endeavor. Whether you are heading into outer space or not, expect to be able to pick up your own unique live recorded CD of tonight's concert!
