CALIFORNIA GUITAR TRIO

Celebrating their 25th Anniversary Season


Proteges of guitar guru, Robert Fripp, Bert Lams from Belgium, Hideyo Moriya from Japan, and Paul Richards from USA formed CALIFORNIA GUITAR TRIO (CGT) in 1991. Since then, the trio's collaborations on-stage and in-studio include such amazing names as Jon Anderson, Tony Levin, King Crimson, Adrian Legg, Jake Shimaburkuro, and many others.

Their catalog of 14 CDs showcases repertoire that is purposefully diverse....everything from a Bach "Fugue in D Minor" to Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" as well as original songs in styles from progressive rock and surf guitar, to jazz and classical. It's CGT's signature to continually surprise the audience with the repertoire, and they are always adding new material.

Like they did a decade ago, releasing a delightful holiday collection simply titled "A Christmas Album." iTunes calls it an "altogether warmhearted reckoning of Christmas carols and other pleasantries" while the album itself has nearly 31 Million plays on Pandora with 4.9 Million of those plays in the last year alone! For the first time in 2016, CGT presents this repertoire in a dedicated 2016 North American Holiday Tour, available only from SRO.

"Multiverse mastery. CGT's unrelenting passion for following the muse has served it well...crisscrossing the universes of rock, classical, jazz, and world music in its performances and recordings" InnerViews: Music Without Borders
