The California Guitar Trio
The internationally acclaimed California Guitar Trio comes to the 21c Museum for
a special performance of stunning guitar talent. Fusing styles of classical, rock,
blues, jazz, world music, progressive, as well as the quintessential California
musical genre surf music, the eclectic Trio has toured extensively both nationally
and internationally.
The members of the Trio first met in England at one of Robert Fripp’s Guitar Craft
Courses in 1987 and toured together with Fripp’s League of Crafty Guitarists. Not
wishing to disband after the League had run its course, the CGT officially formed
in Los Angeles in 1991, honing their intricate original compositions and classical
re-workings.
To date, the CGT has shared the stage with musicians such as King Crimson, Jon Anderson,
Rick Wakeman, John McLaughlin, John Scofield, Tito Puente, Taj Mahal among many
others and has been featured at every Olympic Games from 1998 to 2004.
More information, as well as streaming audio, is available at the
California Guitar Trio’s website
