- **Event Description**: Celebrating 35 years

For 35 years, California Guitar Trio (CGT) has redefined what a small ensemble can achieve on one stage. Since forming in 1991, the group has captivated audiences with a singular sound that fearlessly crisscrosses genres — blending rock, jazz, classical, and global influences, with the occasional surf or spaghetti Western twist for good measure.

Founded by Paul Richards, Bert Lams, and Hideyo Moriya, CGT emerged from the creative lineage of guitarist Robert Fripp and quickly built a reputation for precision, interplay, and adventurous musical exploration. Today, the trio continues its evolution with Paul Richards, Bert Lams, and Chapman Stick player Tom Griesgraber, who joined the group in 2020. Griesgraber’s addition expanded the ensemble’s sonic palette with deep bass textures, orchestral layering, and new harmonic possibilities while preserving CGT’s signature musical language.

Equally known for dazzling musicianship and genuine connection with audiences, CGT concerts blend intricate three-part counterpoint with storytelling, humor, and an inviting stage presence that makes listeners feel like participants rather than spectators.
